Useful though they may be (I hope), I’m always a bit circumspect about posting materials like this reading on the cervix and its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet.
If you find typos in these documents, 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.
Here’s a lesson plan on the addiction potential of drugs with its list as reading and comprehension questions. Both are adapted from the text of Barbara Ann Knipfer’s book The Order of Things. All are catalogued–and searchable–as such at Mark’s Text Terminal.

OK, last but not least this humid morning, here is a reading on Cotton Mather and its attendant vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet. United States history teachers take note.
And I’ll keep my snarky comments about aggressively militant Calvinists to myself. Likewise Reverend Mather’s role in the Salem Witch Trials.

Alright, continuing with recently finished projects, here are five worksheets on the homophones rack and wrack used, in both cases, as nouns and verbs. Both of these words are complicated in their usage, and in fact rarely used in their full range of meanings–which is probably why I never finished this several years ago when I was developing a series of homophone worksheet.
In any case, in these worksheets, both words are used as nouns and verbs. Rack, as a verb, is used both intransitively and transitively; wrack as a verb is used only transitively and really has only one meaning: “to utterly ruin : WRECK.”

Alright, last but not least today, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Senator Joseph McCarthy, whose name you surely recognize as a blight on a period of United States history that in fact bears his name, the “McCarthy Era,” and describes a particular style of political paranoia, McCarthyism.
This is a full-page worksheet, so it has a number of uses, including independent practice (i.e. homework).

Here’s a worksheet on the Latin word root arbor, which as you probably know means tree. This is a relatively productive root in English, though its words tend to be somewhat specialized in the life sciences. Nonetheless, word roots are one way to build vocabulary very quickly if that’s what you need to do.

Depending on where you are and whom your teaching, this reading on Dale Earnhardt may well be high-interest material. It certainly was in Vermont. Less popular perhaps, but still necessary, is the vocabulary-building and comprehension sheet, but there it is anyway.

OK, from the back of the Text Terminal, here are five worksheets on the homophones passed (past tense of the verb pass) and past (used as an adjective.) This is another one of those things lying around unfinished. I’ll bet you’ve taught a student or two who confused these two words, so this ought to have some utility somewhere, I guess.

I haven’t posted one in awhile, so here is a lesson plan on the Crime and Puzzlement case “Made in Japan.”
This lesson opens, if you’re so inclined, with this Cultural Literacy worksheet on the term and concept of “star-crossed lovers.” You’ll need this scan of the text, illustration, and questions to conduct your investigation. And once you’ve gathered the evidence and analyzed, it, you’ll need the typescript of the answer key to check your detective work.

Last but not least today, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the Industrial Revolution which is pretty simple and speaks for itself, I guess.
