About this resource

What's inside this resource

The Crash Course Sociology #18: Deviance Student Worksheet guides students through the concepts covered in Crash Course's popular sociology video on deviance. With a comprehensive 2-page digital worksheet, educators can engage their middle or high school social studies classes with 15 critical thinking questions about key topics featured in the episode. As a supplemental resource for lessons on deviance or general sociology, it promotes retention and checks for understanding on core terms like folkways, formal sanctions, labeling theory, and more. Presented through an accessible lesson format, the pack can be easily integrated into various instructional settings from whole-class discussions to independent assignments on learning platforms. An answer key allows teachers to assess students' comprehension of sociological perspectives related to norms, values, and reactions to rule-breaking behavior in society.
