COMPOSED OF THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS
1. A summary explanation of the theoretical concept.
This section should be a comprehensive but concise summary of the concept. Think of
this short section the following way: Imagine that you are going to visit my Soc 003 class
next quarter and teach the concept to that class. What needs to be understood? What is
relevant? This section of the paper should be no more than 2 paragraphs (8 sentences)
maximum.
2. A picture that reflects some essential qualities of the concept.
You will take a picture of something in your life that reflects this concept. You must take
the image yourself. The photos should get at some fundamental quality of the concept.
The photos must be appropriate for a college class, that is, no offensive material (your
paper receive zero points in this case).
3. An analysis that discusses the ways the photo reflects the concept.
The TAs will be looking to discern the extent to which you are able to connect the
sociological concept to current/everyday social life. What is your photo/image showing
that specifically displays the concept? Did you capture all of the dimensions of your
concept? Is it clear that the photograph/image that you chose is appropriate to the concept? These are all very important here. This section should be 3 paragraphs (12
sentences) maximum.

This document should be laid out as follows:
At the top left of the document include your name and your TAs name. Under that include the
photograph, which should take up about half of the page. Underneath that photo, include a three-
sentence maximum description of the photo. What is happening in the image? Explain to your
TA the who, what, when, and where of the photo (if you have an image of an object, you can
skip the who).
