For years I used a Harper Collins Dictionary of Sociology in my HS classroom. It was affordable, you can pick one up at any Borders or Barnes and Noble and students could use it at their desk. There might be copies at half price book stores if you want to assemble a classroom set.

I am constantly trying out new stuff, and I never get bored...anyway, finally, I am getting some recognition for the class, (not much I still have miles to go), ie, since it is an elective students will not put much effort into it so to keep the class alive and yet still teach I have to spend hours being creative. I recently was told by the librarian that she had some funds for my class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and she suggested the Handbook of 21st Century Sociology, a two volume set which looks very interesting to me. However, it is a $300.00 investment which is a great deal for "us HS peons". After viewing the flier, I felt it would be inefficient, (one book for a class of 20 students). Also, the content appeared to be on a much higher level than I feel my classses are at this time. I would like your input, has anyone had experience with the handbook, if so, how did you use it? Do you have any suggestions for a good set of lesson plans? I would like to get the teaching sociology volumes, but I am not sure which ones, since I would need most of the basic, ie, what is soc, imagination, theory, interaction, etc. Thanks for any input. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Teaching Sociology" group.
