Humanities Homework Help

Discuss your educational experiences using a sociological perspective. In other words, how can sociology can help you make sense of some of your experiences? You can discuss a specific experience (like a conversation with a teacher), or you can talk about trends in your education over the years, or some combination of the two. The purpose is for you to step back from looking at your experiences as personal to you, and seeing how they may be part of broader social patterns. You can write about your experiences as a student, parent, and/or educator, and you can write about any point in your schooling – very early on, or recently, or both.

Your autobiography must include connections from your experiences to at least two of the readings for this Unit and use at least one of the concepts introduced in the PowerPoint (separate from the readings). Make sure to specifically note when you are including a reading or a PowerPoint concept.

EXAMPLE: “I definitely noticed that some students were being labeled in my elementary school class (Rist reading, 7/20-7/21). The teacher would tell them that they were no good in math, and the students began to doubt themselves.”

EXAMPLE: “If I could go back to high school and conduct an ethnography, I would definitely do interviews with some of my classmates (PowerPoint 7/22). I would ask them about their plans for the future and also talk with their family members.”

These are just examples.
