OK, on my way out the door this afternoon, here is a short comprehension worksheet on gravity I wrote this morning. As its instructions indicate, it follows the “What Is Gravity ” page at the NASA Space Place Site.

Finally this morning, here is a reading on Plato and its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet if you teach him in the context of global studies, English language arts, or even a philosophy class. This is a short but solid general introduction to ancient Greek thought in general and Plato in particular.

Here is a word root worksheet on the Greek word root kilo–, which means thousand. This turns up all over the place in English, particularly in metric measurements like kilometer and kiloton. I expect this is a word root students should know for work in the hard sciences–even in a high school classroom.

Cleaning out the Women’s History Month warehouse, I came upon this Everyday Edit worksheet on Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

For the first Friday of Women’s History Month 2020, here is a reading on indigenous rights activist Helen Hunt Jackson and its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet. Her work, which resulted in the disastrously inappropriate Dawes Severalty Act, was nonetheless the first real real attempt–via her book A Century of Dishonor–to bring this country to a reckoning with its genocidal policies against the original inhabitants of this continent.

Here, in continuing observation of Women’s History Month 2020, is an Everyday Edit worksheet on first lady Sarah Childress Polk. She was wed, of course, to President James K. Polk.

Health teachers, here is a reading on obesity along with its attendant vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet. Do I need to belabor the importance of this material in a nation as fat as the United States?

OK, here is a worksheet on the Latin word roots lud and lus; they mean, interestingly, to play. These roots produce words in English like allude, collude, delude, and prelude. In other words, what’s at play when using these words is human understanding and consciousness. I’ve never used this in the classroom. As you can see, there is a big linguistic and imaginative leap needed to get to the meaning of these roots–and indeed the words themselves, which represent advanced acts of understanding.
Use cautiously and with a great deal of support, I counsel.

Here’s a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Dorothy Parker, the great Algonquin Wit and (in my opinion) an under-recognized figure in American letters. If you or your students have an interest in Dorothy Parker, this blog contains numerous entries on her: just search her name on the homepage search bar.
