postmodernism consolidation activity

(1)
A useful activity that can be used in the context of sociological theory (A2) if you take away the religion focus. Simply a card sort with a host of relevant concepts. Students are encouraged to discuss and explore meanings of these ideas and be serendiptous and identify connections and relationships. The activity is designed to initially encourage students to divide ideas into themes ....they then explore overlaps between these and then consider application and evaluation.
