OK, finally for this morning, here is a lesson plan on Aesop’s fable “The Fox and the Crow” along with its reading 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.
OK, here is an independent practice worksheet worksheet on the Silk Road. This is part of the month-long observance of Asian Pacific American History Month 2020 (as are the next couple of posts above) at Mark’s Text Terminal. Over time, I’ve come to realize that this worksheet can open a discussion on the concept of a global economy; indeed, the Silk Road is in every respect the beginning of the globalization of human economic activity.

OK, folks, here is post three of give of some origami materials that I publish with no small amount of ethical foreboding. I won’t belabor the points I made in the earlier posts, but rather get right to it.
origami 22 lantern; origami 23 swan; origami 24 star; origami 25 sailboat; origami 26 carp; origami 27 butterfly; origami 28 frog; origami 29 pig; origami 30 waterbomb; origami 31 candy box; origami 32 fancy box.
Here is a document with folding terms and directions. You might find this wikiHow article on how to make origami paper useful. Finally, here is a long list of YouTube videos on origami technique.
OK, last but not least this afternoon, for you health teachers, here is a short reading on testis along with its attendant vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet if you can use them.

Global studies teachers, here is an independent practice worksheet on the Ashikaga shogunate. This is a basic reading comprehension worksheet. I cannot remember why I wrote it, but I must have needed it for something. Like almost everything else at Mark’s Text Terminal, this document is in Microsoft Word; it is easily manipulated for your needs.

Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Internment of Japanese Americans in the United States during World War II. I don’t want to belabor the point, but this is not one of the proudest moments in this nation’s history. But come to think of it a bit, especially given the recent spate of racist attacks against Americans of Asian Pacific descent, it might not be a bad idea to teach this as a cautionary tale about nationalist bigotry.
In any case, this worksheet is long enough that you could–especially if you teach social studies–use it as independent practice, i.e. homework.

In observation of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month 2020, here is an Everyday Edit worksheet on Yoshiko Uchida, the Japanese-American writer who suffered the indignity of internment in California during World War II (see above). Please don’t forget that the generous proprietors of the Education World website give away for the taking a yearlong supply of Everyday Edit worksheets. I’ve used these documents to very good effect in my classrooms over the years.
OK, blink and you’ll miss this post. I write this on April 2, 2020, a day on which the even dumbest, most highly ideological governors in the United States finally yielded to the expertise of public health experts and issued stay-at-home orders for citizens of their states. Yesterday on the news, a reputable source reported that worldwide, 90 percent of schoolchildren are home. That means there are a lot of kids who need something to do.
So, I will press my luck and post another batch of material that does not belong to me in any sense of the word. Depending on which history of the paper-folding art you read, origami has been around for 1,500 to 2,000 years. But these documents come from a book that I am confident remains under its publisher’s copyright. So I won’t crosspost these or in any way promote them (hint: I will post a total of five origami posts, but you’ll need to search them in the search bar in the upper-right-corner of this website). Ready? Here we go.
origami 12 boat; origami 13 house; origami 14 piano; origami 15 oblong box; origami 16 fox; origami 17 sitting fox; origami 18 cicada; origami 19 pigeon; origami 20 pelican; origami 21 pin wheel.
This set of folding terms and directions will help direct this activity. Here is a wikiHow article on how to make origami paper. Finally, here is a link to a plethora of YouTube instructional videos for origami.
OK, finally this morning, here is a worksheet on the Latin word root liter. While it sounds like it should be related to a measure of liquid (as we use it by itself in English), it actually means letter. Now you know why you find it at the root of words like literature in English. Needless to say, this is a very productive root in English.
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.
OK, I’m drawing down to the last couple of posts for this morning. Here is a high-interest (depending on whom you’re teaching, I guess) reading on John Lennon along with 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.
