EDFN 603: Sunny Mall

This class was Educational History & Sociology. We learned that there were 3 types of sociological people. There is the Functionalist - "The system works, mold the people to the system", the Conflict Theorist(Marxist) - "The system doesn't work, we need to change the system to fit the people in it", and the Interprevist - "Does it matter if the system works or not, how are we going to make it work locally?". Our two main projects were the School Community Study, and a history paper. The School Community Study was great! We got to learn about the school we would be interning at and the surrounding communities. We also got to apply the information to our content field. It was great! The history paper was more difficult. We picked a topic in education and wrote about it. I chose to write on the voucher program, and it's history.

Again, here is a link to the documents.

Thanks Sunny for keeping us  busy and allowing us the opportunity to get to know our communities better.
