The plan for today includes an icebreaker activity estimating the number of gas stations in the US. This will be followed by a lecture on the topic of the family from 11:20-11:50. From 11:50-12:00 there will be a sociological video mashup project. A midterm discussion is scheduled from 12:00-12:10. Finally, from 12:10-12:20 there will be a discussion about the unequal childhoods plan and logistics.
