Kathleen Doherty
(Author, Madison Area Technical College)
New materials include Everyday Sociology Blog exercises, Behind the Headlines and Behind the Best Sellers exercises, media integration grids to help instructors browse electronic resources for each chapter at a glance, and suggested clips from the Sociology in Practice DVD series (divided by chapter) including a description of how to incorporate the DVD into the classroom.

Lecture Slides
(Marit Berntson, author, Roanoke College)
These visually dynamic lecture PowerPoint slides feature a suggested classroom lecture script in the notes field that will be particularly helpful to first-time teachers. While the slides are easy to customize, they are also a “lecture-ready” solution for instructors who have limited preparation time. “Clicker” questions for each PowerPoint chapter enable instructors to incorporate classroom response systems into their lectures. These lecture PowerPoints also include discussion questions for the infographics, which are sized for optimal classroom presentation.
