My computer crashed in Dec. and I do not have an electronic copy here at the office - you might e-mail Carol and request an electronic copy - I can try to find it on my home computer tonight.
I suggest you call a sociology text book representative and see about texts, such as the new Thio paperback text. I worked with high schoolers in alternative schools and I worked up a lesson on each typical chapter that adapted it to high school students.

While I know this may be more of a commitment of time that you wish - maybe pursuing a grant through ASA would benefit.
Good luck.
