Cultures, Subcultures, and Countercultures Crash Course Sociology Episode 11 Worksheet This engaging worksheet accompanies the Crash Course Sociology episode on cultures, subcultures, and countercultures. High school students will answer 15 questions about key concepts from the 9-minute video, strengthening their understanding of societal groups. Educators can implement this printable two-page student worksheet with a separate two-page answer key in various ways. Students can complete it independently after watching the video linked at the top. Alternatively, pause the video to discuss questions together as a class. Small groups can also rewatch sections and discuss before recording responses. An answer key allows students to check their own work. Pair this video worksheet with other sociology resources to immerse students in relevant, real-world topics. Extend learning by having students identify examples of cultures, subcultures, and countercultures in their own lives. This worksheet builds on other Crash Course episode resources for government, US history, and sociology. Browse the Active Social Studies store for engaging project ideas, lecture slides, team building activities and more for civics, US history, sociology and psychology. Resources aim to actively engage students, spur discussion, and make social studies concepts relatable.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Distinguish between low culture, high culture, mainstream culture, and subcultures.

  • Compare structural functionalist and conflict theorist perspectives on how cultures and subcultures interact.

  • Describe how cultural change occurs through invention, discovery, and cultural diffusion, using the 1960s counterculture as a historical example.

Teaching tips

  • Have students watch the linked Crash Course Sociology episode before attempting the worksheet, since all 15 questions are drawn directly from the video's content.

  • Use the answer key's full-sentence model answers as a class discussion guide after students complete their own responses, since several questions (like the 1960s counterculture question) have multi-part answers.

  • Pair the ethnocentrism/Eurocentrism/Afrocentrism questions (7-9) as a mini group discussion, since they build on each other conceptually.

Skills covered

  • Video-based note-taking and comprehension — students answer short-response questions drawn directly from a linked sociology video.

  • Sociological vocabulary — students engage with terms including ethnocentrism, Eurocentrism, Afrocentrism, multiculturalism, and cultural diffusion.

  • Comparative analysis — students distinguish structural functionalist and conflict theorist perspectives on subcultures.
