learning features
People learn in different ways, so this book includes a range of features designed to assist learners in understanding at the cognitive, emotional, and behavioural levels. Each chapter contains the following elements:
A New Look
From the first pages of each chapter, Sociology, Seventh Canadian Edition, encourages students to use images to learn. Bold, vibrant, and colourful photos pull students into the chapter material and provide not just visual appeal but teaching opportunities as well.
NEW Student Annotations
For the first time, every chapter of Sociology now includes annotations that help students gain the most from what they read. These annotations act as an in-text guide for students, pointing out many important points and lessons.
Making the Grade identifies potentially confusing issues — or material that students tend to miss on tests — and ensures that they understand the issues correctly.
Key Terms Students will now be able to easily reference these important terms throughout the margins of the 7th edition of Society.
Seeing Sociology in Everyday Life challenges students to apply the sociological perspective to their own lives.
NEW Seeing Sociology in Everyday Life photo essays
Each chapter ends with a one-page photo essay that develops a key theme of the chapter in terms of everyday experiences and popular culture. Questions are then asked about the photo essay to help students think critically and apply sociology to their own lives.
NEW Visual Summary - highlights all the key material of the chapter in a clear and colourful way and shows how the ideas flow from section to section. Next to this graphic summary is a listing of the chapter’s key concepts along with their definitions.
