Great job on Friday! Simon loved working with you all!
Today, we're still working on our two major tasks: 1. Creating memes of the Looking Glass Self (Instructions are posted under Friday's DP entry 2. Reading our Sociology Textbook article and answering the reading guide questions. Refining our Meme mini-projects
Check out some of the student work that is rolling in already. Looking good, y'all!
Today's PlanHey gang, hope you have a great day today. Be sure to be on your best behavior for Simon. He's a really great guy and deserves to have a good day full of helping you not disciplining you. The plan for today is for you to create what us old timers would call a "meme" that represents how you think people see you. This is directly related to the "Looking Glass Self" notes that we took yesterday if you're curious where to start. You're going to need to send me your work as .pdf by the end of class, so there's not really a lot of time to waste. Here's an example of what we're going for : Instructions1. Use Photoshop. 2. Make the dimensions 11 inches x 17 inches. Set the orientation to "Landscape" (so, 17 inches would be the horizontal length. 3. Set the DPI to 300. 4. Instead of "Photographer" like in the model above, use your name. 5. Use a black background. Use white font that would be easy to read from a 3 foot distance if this was hanging on the wall. 6. Use the phrase, "How "x" sees me" for each of the people/persons that you use. "How my parents see me." "How my friends see me." "How my teachers see me." "How my boyfriend/girlfriend sees me." "How my pastor/rabbi/etc. sees me." "How I see myself." Don't use more than six categories, and feel free to come up with some of your own, but definitely include parents, friends, teachers, and "how I see myself." 7. Use high resolution, non-pixelated pictures from the internet that are school appropriate (no drugs, violence, profranity, etc.) We will be hanging these up on the wall, after all. 8. Take your time, make refined work, and save your final work as a .pdf. Email it to me by the end of class. Did you finish your meme draft?Que bueno! Then you get to dig into some deep thoughts on Socialization.
It's right here. Please complete the reading guide as you go through the reading. On the reading guide, please click, "File" and then click "Make A Copy." Title it with your name and "Reading Guide Questions." We will finish the reading on Monday. No need to turn this in today. Just make sure you send me your meme! After you complete today's Starter, please share Starters 1-7 with me (Stephen Sellers) by clicking on the big blue share button in the top right hand corner of your Starter document.
