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.
