Sociology holiday homework

During the holidays, begin collecting news articles from a range of sources. You should aim to read widely and collect articles on a social issue you find interesting. You can collect these from print or online newspapers, independent news websites or feel free to summarise radio or television news/current affairs broadcasts. Next year you’ll log what you find on Quia. You’ll get your username and password next year.

If you missed the transition day you can access the articles we discussed here. We also analysed the Reconciliation Australia campaign located here.

Below you’ll find some videos and a list of good media resources.
