Your group for this assignment can include 2-4 individuals. Choose a social movement: religious turmoil in Ireland/N. Ireland, Civil Rights movement, Nazism/The Holocaust, 1994 genocide in Rwanda, or suicide bombing. This timeline will begin at the formulation of a social movement and end when the social movement reaches a conclusion or is halted by an outside source (although some movements might not yet have an end it sight)! Your timeline should seek to explain the progression of events during a particular social movement. In other words, how does collective behavior escalate this movement? Your timeline must include one of the 'types of collective behavior' discussed in class. Your timeline should also pinpoint FIVE important events of the social movement. You can complete your timeline electronically (on PowerPoint) or by hand (on paper). Either way, make them visually appealing because they will be hanging in our classroom!

After watching the video depicting riots in Northern Ireland, you are to compose a play-by-play news report on the riot you have witnessed. Feel free to watch the video as many times as you need. Remember, we want to pay attention to GROUP BEHAVIOR and how it might be COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOR. After writing a short play-by-play, review this report as an 'Expert' or a 'Sociologist'. In this role, you should be able to identify which types of collective behavior are in action and which THEORY would most accurately explain this situation. Your final product should be no longer than one page in length! Good luck!

Please find ONE example of social change (other than Civil Rights!). You can find any example of a social movement, but be sure that it is based in some sort of ethnocentric thought and also contains distinct ideology. The finished product should contain: -The name of your chosen social movement -A photo/symbol/figure that represents your social movement -Some ideological beliefs of the social movement (Please have this all on ONE page)

Students will create a timeline that encompasses a social movement that is sparked by collective behavior.
