Description
UPDATED 11/7/2022
The BEST and most COMPREHENSIVE activity to do when teaching about deviance!
Description:
This assignment requires each student to find and bring in an article about a crime from the Internet or a newspaper. They are to read it and then analyze it based on concepts that they've covered in the chapter such as typology, type of crime, and motive. So I would recommend that you do this assignment after having taught all the concepts found in the Social Control and Deviance Powerpoint and Deviance 101 powerpoints.
Here's what you'll get.
This particular product is a PDF file that is to be filled out by the students. Questions are scaffolded:
- Basic summary of the article/crime committed
- Explaining the crime committed with the sociological theories
- Identifying the crime classification
- Analyzing the typologies and root causes of the crime
Why is this perfect?
This assignment is organized in the ways students love:
- Summaries
- Main details only
- Bullet points
Benefits:
This assignment:
- Save YOU a lot of time to prepare and learn the content.
- Students pick the article they want to write about
- Helps the students to make real-life connections
- Helps students to apply the concept they have been learning to a real case
- Can be done with a partner or in small groups
Suggested Use & Duration:
Kids need one day in class to complete this assignment, whether done alone, with a partner, or small group. Kids just need to have the article ready to use.
