Cultural Literacy: Moguls

The last time I taught a Global Studies course here in New York City, they were part of the curriculum, so here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the Moguls. This is a half-page worksheet with a reading of four sentences and three comprehension questions. And even in that brief reading? The editors of The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy manage to explain the Mogul (Mughal) dynasty in India, but also to observe that the word mogul also connotes “…a great personage or magnate.”

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.
