Here is a worksheet on the concept of altruism that I developed on the fly last spring. This is a full-page worksheet with a three-sentence reading and three comprehension questions. I ended up not using this, because if I had I probably would have adapted it some: the reading contains some terms of art from sociology that require amplification and explanation. Also, I think there are some critical questions to ask about altruism–how does it benefit society? for starters–that I didn’t get around to writing.
This is more of a skeleton than a fully fleshed-out worksheet. Like almost everything on this website, however, it is formatted in Microsoft Word. You can, therefore, adapt it to your classroom’s needs.
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.
