(View Complete Item Description)

This lesson plan outlines a set of interactive exercises designed for one 50 minute tutorial in a first year introductory sociology course. Students are introduced to Mills’ The Sociological Imagination (1959) and participate in a close reading activity. The class then applies the sociological imagination to research reports on urban loneliness to explore how this seemingly private trouble is also a public issue with social roots and social outcomes. The lesson plan includes activity steps and timing, background information, and handouts and is ideal for a teaching assistant or first time instructor. This lesson plan has also been published in the ASA Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology.
