You will take an active part in a community outreach activity of your choosing, which will affiliate you with the needs of the community (i.e., work at a shelter, a camp, a recreation center, tutoring younger children). This should be a volunteer activity, where you are doing something, rather than just observing. Typically, this should last between 2-4 hours. However, it may take longer to successfully answer all four of the questions posed below.
This activity must take place DURING our class – – between week 1- 6. It cannot be something you did before our class began.
You will write a minimum of a THREE page paper explaining the experience and what was learned from the project. You MUST give the DATE of your outreach activity in your introduction (10 points will be deducted if you do not give the DATE of the activity.
Using the information about sociology gained from the course, you will answer several questions in detail. Remember that in formal writing we limit the use of first person.
These four questions should be your subheadings when writing the paper.
- What was observed during the experience? (apply textbook concepts to your observation)
- How did the experience affect you?
- What are the needs of the population that you interacted with for this assignment?
- How can you/others help make a difference with this group?
The purpose of this paper is to apply the concepts you learned in this class to what your observed. You should have reference to your textbook concepts all throughout your writing. This means to use textbook concepts to support your claims. You could lose up to 15 points if you do not apply the textbook.
The finished project should include three full pages of content and an APA formatted cover page. Please refer to the grading rubric for specific grading criteria.
Just wanted to be sure everyone is clear about formal writing in papers. Please make sure you follow these guidelines:
- Double space
- Need a cover page and Reference (work cited) page.
- 1″ margins on all sides
- Times New Roman, 12 pt font
- URLs are NOT complete references on the work cited page!
- Apply the concepts you learned from the textbook
- do NOT use wikipedia, about.com, answers.com, dictionary.com, etc. Use good reputable sources.
This is just a reminder to the class that the safe assign is a plagiarism checker. Any papers with 40 -60%, I will deduce that percentage off the top before I begin grading. This means if you have 60% match (on a 100 point paper), the best score you could get is 40 if there are no other mistakes.
Any papers over 60% you will receive a ZERO for the paper and an incident report will be sent to the university and placed in your file. If you have 90% or above, you could end up with an F for the course as this would mean you copied and pasted the entire paper and this is blatant plagiarism. Again, an incident report will be completed and placed in your academic file.
