TEACHSOC: Re: Sociological Theory Assignments and Activities

[Tina Deshotels]

Good question, Anne.    What activities/assignments do you use to make theory applicable and accessible to a diverse group of students?    The trouble I have is that I have some students that can barely read/write and some that are top notch.  I also have a pretty large class (35).  So, I’m thinking to accomplish my goal of applicability I have to work hard at making the readings/ideas accessible.   Tina   PS thanks for pushing me to clarify my question.    From: teachsoc@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anne Eisenberg Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2006 3:57 PM To: Tina Deshotels; teachsoc@googlegroups.com Subject: TEACHSOC: Re: Sociological Theory Assignments and Activities   Hi, Tina -   The ASA has a wonderful course guide book on theory.   It all depends on what you want to accomplish in the classroom - perhaps you can provide a bit more information?   Anne F.
