Hi,
I am teaching a new Intro Sociology course in the Fall and have designed this activity for when we discuss the family.
Inspect the following images of families from 3 different centuries. Choose a minimum of two aspects (activity, clothing, buildings, roles, etc) to compare and contrast between the provided images. Find an 'open' image from the GLAM collection or another 'open' site or a personal image to represent a family from this century. Comment on any similarities and differences that you may notice.
