OK, here’s another document I prepared for my sociology course, to wit, a Cultural Literacy on the concept of the old boy network. This is a half-page worksheet with a reading of one long compound sentence with a colon in the middle of it, and two comprehension questions. Just the basics, but it gets the job done of introducing the concept. Students may need case studies to apply this knowledge, of course.

If you find typos in this document, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.

This year, kind of out of the blue, I was delegated the responsibility of teaching a sociology class. I suppose it’s a good thing I have some knowledge of the topic, but I am still developing the curriculum as the school year proceeds. This Cultural Literacy worksheet on mores, thus, is a recent fruit of these labors. I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that students, by the time they reach high school, ought to understand mores as both a concept and as a potential way of being in the world–especially if one consents to a society’s mores (i.e., as long as one is not agreeing to, say, cannibalism).

In any case, this is a half-page document with a reading of two sentences and two comprehension questions.
