The lead story from Mark’s Text Terminal on this already hot day concerns the operation’s recent move. I didn’t go far–just a ten-minute walk from where I have lived for the past two years. I am now in the Midwood section of Brooklyn, about two blocks from Brooklyn College. This is a very nice area adjacent to the sublime precincts, from south to north, of Fiske Terrace-Midwood Park, Ditmas Park, and Prospect Park South. Since I’m an old guy now, this, I expect, will be the last place I live.
So it struck me as a fine synchrony when I found the second worksheet of a series of 69 general conceptual documents for a sociology class last year was this worksheet on the concept of ageism. It’s a full page worksheet with a reading of four longish sentences and three comprehension questions. If it looks like it was put together on the fly, believe me, it was. However, this could be edited down to a half-page do-now exercise, or expanded with some critical questions. Because this worksheet is formatted in Microsoft Word, you can adapt it to your classroom’s needs. More than enough said.
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.
