Moving right along this morning, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Zeno’s paradox. This is a half-page document with a three-sentence reading and three comprehension questions. The first sentence of the reading does a nice job of defining paradox; however, beware the third sentence, which in forty-nine words (!) explains Zeno’s paradox of the arrow.
If I were a betting man, I would wager that emergent readers and learners of English of a new language will experience some challenges with either the turgid length of this sentence, or the relatively complicated ideas within it. In other words, caveat emptor, and get your editing pencil ready to prepare a shorter and more comprehensible version of this final sentence. I think you will probably end up with at least two, and possibly three sentences.
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.
