LESSON PLANS BY LESLEY CLARK
Sociology teachers and students have relied on Sociology Themes and Perspectives for over twenty years. The coverage of theories and research in each subsequent edition has been unrivalled for accuracy and detail. These lesson plans aim to provide guidance on using the sixth edition of Sociology Themes and Perspectives in a teaching context by offering practical classroom support for teachers. Three lesson plans are provided for each chapter. One of these is a glossary exercise that will help students come to terms with the conceptual base of the subject and allow them to build a running dictionary of sociology. The other two lessons focus on issues central to AS- and A-level specifications in that area and aim to help students develop the range of skills required for success. Many of the lesson plans require preparatory reading that could be set as homework before the lesson. Teachers’ notes are provided for each lesson plan. These notes include guidance for lesson aims, the resources and time needed and the appropriate Introduction Sociological perspectives page references from Sociology Themes and Chapter 1 Social stratification Perspectives.

    When it comes to sociology, one of the most important thing to understand is the sociological imagination. (Mills, 2014, pg. 3) To fully understand how society works and why things happen we need to look at the bigger picture. To do this, sociologist approach things with what is called the sociological eye. (McIntyre, 2014 pg. 29) Both the sociological eye, and the sociological imagination needs to be used in order to understand why people do what they do. The sociological imagination can also be used to understand todays families and help them. In the end, what McIntyre wants from us, the reader, is to use the sociological imagination and always remember it. (McIntyre, 2014, pg. 266)…

    What benefits does looking at a family provide for storytelling through films? When looking at a family there tends to be a lot of characters: the nuclear family, the extended family, and the close family friends who are not even blood related. Why would a filmmaker ever choose to work with such a large number of characters and people? The stories that can be told from a family tend to be universal such as, love, marriage, heartbreak, hardship and so on. These stories can only exist within a family do to one thing—generations. Family can have upwards of three generations or maybe even more. These generations have all experience different events in life which shapes their beliefs and morals.

    I consider myself to be part of the mainstream American culture. However, there are a few customs and traditions that I’ve recognize as being present in my family. I think the first thing that has always been very prominent in my household is behavior and attitude. My sisters and I were brought up to always say thank you, your welcome, and to just be polite. So when we are around other family members or friends they tend to comment on how polite we are, or say “you don’t have to say thank you”. But, it’s just natural for us to say thank you even when it’s relating to something small. Another custom that my house hold has always shared is saying grace before eating. When I was younger I remember thinking that everyone had the same grace. But, as I started to get older I started to realize that a lot of people had different prayers before eating. I would sometimes even find myself saying grace at other people houses, while they were already starting to eat. My grandfather and great uncle were pastors so religion was something that was really installed in my mom. However, my mom was never really religious on my sisters and me growing up. She was…

    Both sides of my family are very similar. On my dad side, the earliest record is in 1831 of a person names Eldridge Golden. Eldridge grew up in Barbour West Virginia. Ever since then my dad's family has lived all over West Virginia. They most likely lived there prior to 1831 because my dad is part Cherokee Indian. The Cherokee Indian tribe has been around since the 16th century when European explorers contacted the tribe. Since the initial contact the Cherokee Indians developed their society and culture along with the European settlers. This eventually lead to their downfall when the settlers found gold. The Cherokee man, women, and children were rounded up and on the orders of President Andrew Jackson, were removed and sent to reservations.…
