Identify 'who' you were and 'where' you were in terms of what you have performed and what 'stage' you were on. Once you have completed your day, you will need to type your journal and include it at the end of your write-up. (the journal does not count towards you page count) 2) Analyze your day: After your day of journaling, you will use your typed journal to write a 3-6 page review of a day in your life (in essay format), using at least 8 sociological concepts (identified, defined, and analyzed) covered in this course to discuss: - details about your day from a sociological perspective (eg. roles, institutions, interactions, impression management, stage theory, emotional labor) - explanation of why you needed to perform in such a way in each of the settings you encountered (i.e. your motives, instincts, feelings, and/or structural constraints) - a macro sociological analysis of 'who you are' and 'where you are' in society - your conclusion for this one-day life review journey The paper should be typed, double-spaced, 11-point font, 1` margins. Both the write-up and your typed journal should be saved as ONE document with page numbers.
