Sociology 145: Sociology of Health (Polonijo)

Group Activity 1

Instructions:

You will have 8 minutes to do this activity, 7 minutes + a 1-minute reminder before the breakout room closes.

  1. With your assigned group (breakout room group number), choose a team name (1 minute)
  2. Choose a team "scribe" who will type the group's responses into the spreadsheet (pick only one because having multiple people editing an Excel doc can be tricky) (1 minute)
  3. Open your team's article and skim through it. You do not need to read the whole article! (2-3 minutes)
  4. Based on what you can see of the article, discuss these questions with your group to arrive at a shared response: (3 minutes)
  • What is the article about?
  • What types of questions can the article answer? (Ask yourself: what is the article attempting to learn about? Who is its subject?)
  • What type of article is this (review or research)? How can you tell? 
  • Do you have any questions about this article from your brief skim?
