Some time ago, I posted another of these worksheets, and there are more to come. After a year or so of preparing the templates and typing up the text, I am beginning work on a series of English usage in the interest of developing adapted material that meets the Common Core Standards, specifically:
“Standard (L.11-12.1b)-Resolve issues of complex or contested usage, consulting references, (e.g., Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage, Garner’s Modern American Usage) as needed.”
You can find the rationale for these worksheets toward the bottom of the “About Posts & Texts” page. Whether or not you care about the rationale, here is a worksheet on differentiating the adjectives adverse and averse.
If you find typos in this document, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
