Midterm quiz instructions

You have 3 pages (~ 1.5 pages each question). It is due, typed, Thursday class time.
Scantron part the following week.
Do a good job being a Sociologist. There are no "correct" answers - but there will be more or less creative, insightful, helpful, organized, and responsible papers. Use the thinkers and thoughts that we have discussed to illuminate your thinking and to create your "case". Each question has options for answers: You pick the letter (A B C, etc.) you choose to defend as the best answer - and also rank the others. Explain your ranking, too. It's up to you as to how you divide up the 1.5 pages you get per question - whether more space to the top choice answer or more space to the lesser
ranked answers. All the answers are correct. Your job is to make your answers come to life as young Sociologists.

just to clarify on the assignment, we are choosing one question with a letter under a number. So I will choose question 1-C (1.5 pages) and 5-B (1.5 pages)? We are ranking the other questions with a letter under the same heading? Where in the paper do we explain the ranking? I'm still a little confused. I only want to make sure I do it right. A different example would be great!

Champ1433: you choose two questions from 1-6. For each, you get 1.5 pages. Within each of those 1.5 pages, you defend your letter choice, e.g., "B". You also, within those 1.5 pages, rank all the other possible answers, e.g., E, A, D, C - and why they got that rank. You can refer to them simply as E, A, D, C to save room! You have to be concise!
