Welcome to Grade 11 Intro to Sociology, Anthropolgy, and Psychology
During the course of this course we will be using many sources of information in order to gather information about anthropolgy, sociology, and psychology. To introduce the course we will be reading a novel by **Robin Wiszowaty entitled, "My Masai Life".** This novel introduces a young woman who leaves her life in suburban Illinois to go to rural Kenya to live with the Masai people. This is the story of her experiences there. We will discover through this novel what is meant by the terms, sociology, psychology and anthropology. Each chapter will become a new lesson for us.

You will have two responsibilities throughout the reading of this novel.
 * 1) You will be responsible for posting a response to each chapter on the appropriate discussion tab. Your response will be based on a prompt provided by the teacher.
