Chapter 8 Journal – Gender and the Holidays
For this journal assignment, our class will examine gender roles during the holidays. Please take a look at the following articles from JSTOR Daily, here – https://daily.jstor.org/the-gendering-of-holiday-labor/, and from Sociological Images, here – https://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2015/11/24/doing-gender-and-making-holidays/.
Think of a Thanksgiving or   other holiday celebration you had with your family, paying special attention to the gender roles associated with this holiday. 1) What do the men do during different parts of the day and evening? How do the women spend their time? What about the children: Do the boys and girls help their family members? 2) Take a look at the various rituals throughout the day, and think about whether they differ by gender. For instance, is the turkey carved at the dinner table, and who carves it? 3) According to your observations, did you find any kind of gender imbalance and/or difference in the preparation for this holiday?  
Assignment: Write a summary of your observations and analysis of gender roles during one particular Thanksgiving—or pick another holiday you have celebrated with your family that involves cooking and eating a lot of food. Include in your summary what the gender roles revealed during the event.

(Sociology:Labor & society level 315 ) There are two tasks to get done here ; the first task is to write four memos. each memo should be based on one of these readings you decide to engage with. you will have to: • Engage with ideas and arguments you found interesting (or, not) and why. • Make connections between the readings . • Include references to materials from outside the course readings (articles, podcasts, documentaries etc.) These memos are not to simply provided a review of the readings. Instead, they should demonstrated critical engagement with the readings and class material. Memos will strictly be between 300~ 500 words. ” note that you should pick only one reading from the readings I provided and an additional outside source/reading you are interested in and you find conneconnected to the reading you decided to weite your memo about to support the whole memo with. make sure sure you choose a source that matches with your topic and that this source it reliable and good for academic use. , it could support it or perhaps illustrate a whole different view of it it’s up to you . most importantly make it interesting and not just based that one reading you chose to write about but it’s a mixture of the two sources. , don’t try to sum it up. Again lastly don’t forget youll be using a mixture of the sources i gave you and outside (reliable, credible, unbiased scholarly sources) that match with the content of this class and the connected to reading you   picked to engage with. Youll engage with one of the six readings I provided. Don’t forget each memo should contain one of the class readings (6 readings) and one outside source that either supports your engagement, argues it Or however you want to make the connection between the two sources, at the end just make sure it’s  interesting  and creatively relevant.
