This is an introductory lesson that is a game for students to learn the basic vocabulary for sociology. The students can get into groups (no more than three people) and using the book, read the text surrounding the vocabulary words in order to use context clues to put them together. The teams have to get their words approved by the teacher before they can write it on their paper to insure that it is correct. I pit the teams against each other to foster a game like amostophere for extra credit. Everyway walks away with extra credit but obviously those that finish first get more than others. The definitions are my personal defintions rather than the ones in the book as that would be too easy. Standard: SS-Soc.9-12.14. Identify characteristics of groups, and the influences that groups and individuals have on each other.
