Caine’s Arcade Lesson Plan

Get your STEM lessons crafted to perfection with this lesson plan! You can have students create their own way of presenting their projects. This one was made with the Wixie authoring platform. It provided all of the simple machine pictures, and this particular plan allows kids to give their games a points system. There is a lot of reasoning and proving involved here, which is why it is a great writing tool as well.

Now that STEM is all that, your school may be about to do a Caine’s Arcade to celebrate creativity. If you do not know Caine’s story, click here.

If you are familiar with the story, and are currently in the process of creating a game, here is a neat creativity map I created for TPT and TES. Feel free to browse through my shops and let me know if you want a special pricing so many people can use it.

The whole file is about 16 pages long and has a key!

Multiculturalism and Sociology as Fields: Durkheim, Weber, and Mead: An analysis of theories

Meade, Durkheim and Multicultural Sociology

The works of Margaret Mead will mirror the importance of social culture, and her impact on the study of sociology in terms of how ethical research and responsible analysis of diversity influences the validity of sociological work. On and all, this paper will declare the uniqueness of multiculturalism within the study of sociology, and will argue that further studies and preparation will be needed to fully comprehend the extent to which society continues to change.

A Brief Look into the History of Sociology

France, nineteenth century. The French are barely recovering from the destruction and chaos brought in by the French Revolution:…
