Reading Guide (30% of your grade) As you read, you will need to annotate/take notes on where you see the 8 themes Look for evidence you could use in a paper Do you remember the themes?

To help on your IB exams, Paper 1 and Paper 2!! For example: Explain the relationship between gender roles and power in a society. Evidence: 2.1 Individuals, Groups, and Society: In the Hmong culture, a child’s birth was completely attended to by only the mother, with the father not being allowed to even look at her body. He could bring her hot water, but nothing else. She labored, delivered, cut the cord, and washed the baby herself, as birth is strictly a female gender role. (pg. 1-2)

For example: Discuss identity in relation to personhood. Evidence: 2.1 Individuals, Groups, and Society: In the Hmong culture, a child is not fully considered a member of the human race (personhood) until she is named on her third day of life in a ceremony called a hu plig, or soul-calling. If it died in the first three days, it wasn’t given a funeral, which may be a cultural reaction to the 50% infant mortality rate. pg. 9-10

An example of a theme with specific evidence Need to include the anthropological terms from the Theme Cheat Sheet Ex: power, kinship, role, reciprocity, etc Social and cultural organization (3) 1 example with specific evidence and relevant term (1) accurately used (2) 2 examples with specific evidence and relevant term (1) accurately used (2) 4 examples with specific evidence and relevant term (2) accurately used (1) 5 examples with specific evidence and relevant term (3) accurately used

By the end of the book, you should have TWENTY evidence examples (Think: mild, medium, hot, fire) However, you will write down/annotate way more than that as you go. Then, at the end, you will choose your best 20 examples to put in the guide So you want to keep track as you go…
