South Park & Teaching Sociology: 4 Episode-Based Exercises

9/2/2013

2 Comments

 
This set of instructional strategies and worksheets serves as a companion to my essay on the usefulness (and cautions) of using the television show South Park as an effective and engaging sociological teaching device. Below is a series of four episode-based exercises that instructors can use to teach the sociological concepts of inequality (episode: "Chickenpox"), socialization (episode: "Hooked on Monkey Fonics"), theories of self (episode: "Fishsticks"), and reification (episode: "Margaritaville"). Each exercise introduces the episode and sociological concept, and provides instructors with tips for how to facilitate "The After Discussion" following the screening of each episode. The final page provides a printable worksheet that instructors can distribute so that students can apply the concepts they just learned.

Thank you for the great assignments. Wonderful stuff.

Is it possible to make the Scribd documents downloadable? Or is there some trick I'm missing to download the documents?
