Below are three questions to help you reflect back on the material from the semester. There are general guidelines for each question in parentheses to help you determine “how much” you should write. There is no exact number of words needed, as long as you are thorough.
.
1. List three conclusions about marriage and marriage rates that can be derived from the data given in your textbook. Include the page number that references your answer. Short answer is fine. 3 points
2. Explain one concept from the text/course that was surprising or new to you. Short answer is fine. 3 points
3. Watch the 3-part documentary Country Boys. Select one of the two main characters (Chris or Cody) to analyze using concepts we’ve discussed this semester (race, social class, gender, romantic relationships, marriage and cohabitation, divorce, blended families, family violence/abuse, etc.). 18 points.
Here are the 3 links:
Country Boys Part 1 https://www.pbs.org/video/frontline-country-boys-part-i/
Country Boys Part 2 https://www.pbs.org/video/frontline-country-boys-part-ii/
Country Boys Part 3 https://www.pbs.org/video/frontline-country-boys-part-iii/
For full-credit on #3, you need to discuss specific details as examples of the concepts we’ve covered that are listed above (race, social class, gender, romantic relationships, marriage and cohabitation, divorce, blended families, family violence/abuse, etc.). These examples should span all three parts – not just the first film to demonstrate you have watched the required viewing.
