Moving right along this morning, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Sierra Leone. This is a full-page worksheet with a reading of four sentences and three comprehension questions. As I prepared these for use, either in the classroom or on this blog, I intended to use them as measures of reading comprehension and mental organization. So there are a lot of questions along the lines of “What nation is to the north of Sierra Leone?” There are several such questions in this document which I hope will help teachers diagnose students’ reading struggles and formulate solutions.
In the case of most of these Cultural Literacy worksheets dealing with nation-states in Africa, the most important thing is to read one sentence at a time, then figure out which question it answers.
