Extra credit should be 1-2 pages long. The extra credit assignment will require you to use your sociological imagination. There is no wrong or right answer, as long as the paper meets all of the criteria below. A completed extra credit assignment should have the following:

1. Read a blog post onhttp://www.everydaysociologyblog.com/

1. that matches a theme, theory, or pattern of behavior that you learned about in the weekly module.
2. Then write a 1-2 page reflection on the blog. Include the following:
   1. Write a one paragraph summary of the blog topic (so I know the general theme)
   2. Connect the blog post to lecture materials i.e. Is the information consistent with what you’ve learned in class? How/how not? Identify the major theoretical perspective the author is writing from (Structural Functional, Conflict, or Symbolic Interactionist). What might a different theoretical perspective argue?
   3. Use your sociological imagination to apply the ideas to your own experiences. That is, tell me how the social pattern you’ve learned about is connected to your everyday life and offer a solution for change. Some questions you may consider (but don’t have to): Do you agree/disagree? Why? Do you have a similar or different experience? Who may be different? Why? Is there something the author did not consider that is important to the matter?
