A. Accomplishing the Objectives (How to complete the presentation)

To complete your presentation, follow these steps:

1. Assigned Topic Overview (4 slides):

• Use the assigned textbook section to provide an overview of your topic (e.g., Economy).
• Cover:
• Concept definitions.
• Interpretation of the assigned institution in the context of one of the sociological theories (symbolic interactionism, functional analysis, or conflict theory).
• Impact of the assigned institution on society.

2. Practical Case Research (6 slides):

• Use the internet or the library databases to find information related to the practical case related to your topic (e.g., Inflation for Economy).
• Include:
• Concept definitions.
• Causes (timeline with main events).
• Impacts/effects/consequences.
• A video clip explaining the causes and consequences.

3. Group Perspective and Critical Thinking:

• Share your groups view on the practical case (agree/disagree, explain).
• Pose a critical thinking question for class discussion.

Remember to cite your sources using MLA style. When using the Internet, use reliable sources (look for .edu, .org, or .gov websites). Avoid .com sites, as they often have commercial agendas. Evaluate YouTube videos carefully; some are reliable (e.g., PBS, TED) while others may not be (e.g., Prager University).
