Community Observation Paper

You will take an active part in a community outreach activity of your choosing, which will affiliate you with the needs of the community (i.e., work at a shelter, a camp, a recreation center, tutoring younger children). This can be purely voluntary, or it can be an activity related directly to your employment. Typically, the observation should last between 2-4 hours. However, the observation may take longer and enough observing should be done to successfully answer all four of the questions posed below.

You will write a four-page paper explaining the experience and what was learned from the project.

Using the information about sociology gained from the course, you will answer several questions in detail.

These four questions should be your subheadings when writing the paper.
1. What was observed during the experience?
2. How did the experience affect you?
3. What are the needs of the population that you interacted with for this assignment?
4. How can you help make a difference with this group?

The finished project should include three full pages of content and an APA formatted cover page. Please refer to the grading rubric for specific grading criteria.

I have also attached a copy of the Assignment Instructions and the Grading Rubric which need to be followed exactly.
