Description

FIELD ASSIGNMENT 4

SMILE DAY

Goals and Skills: Students are asked to apply specific concepts, happiness theories, or research findings they have learned in class to life experiences and specific out-of-class activities. Using a concept in a new circumstance as well as connecting sociology to other relevant material in students' lives allows for greater student understanding.

Specific Instructions: You are to choose one day and spend the entire day smiling. Not just being happy, but physically demonstrating happiness through the facial expression of smiling. You should simply smile, a natural smile (not a grin or a smirk), at everyone you see throughout the day, including friends, strangers, peers, professors, roommates, and anyone else you encounter on this day. After completing an entire day of smiling, write about both yours and others' reactions to this behavior. How did it make you feel to display a smile all day? How did others react to your perceived happiness? How does this relate to the material we have discussed in class?

Substantive Discussion/Debriefing: On the class day after the assignment is due, there will be an in-class discussion about this assignment. Students should be prepared to talk about their paper.

DUE: A digital copy should be uploaded to D2L into correct folder by 12:59pm on the due date (exact dates are noted on the syllabus under Course Calendar and Assignments).

Feedback: Students will be given numerical grades using the rubric below:
