Through this lesson students will learn the following concepts: Gemeinschaft, Geshellschaft, Metropolitan Man, Wirth’s theory of urbanism, Gan’s critique of Wirth, and Fischer’s subcultural theory of urbanism. It includes a written lesson plan (including learning goals, a list of resources, learning sequence, and content outline), a 14 slide PowerPoint presentation, an accompanying PowerPoint guide, a content quiz, as well as a formal written assessment. Although this lesson corresponds with Part 1 of the Urban Sociology Reader (Lin and Mele 2007, pp. 7 - 58), a bibliography is included so that instructors can adapt readings as they chose.Work Cited:Tonnies, Ferdinand, Georg Simmel, Louis Wirth, Herbert Gans, Claude S.
