Depending on what region of the country whence you hail (if you’ll forgive me that locution), these might not necessarily be homophones, but these five homophone worksheets on the homophones elicit and illicit might also serve as vocabulary-building worksheets.

OK, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on sharecropping, which is the last Cultural Literacy worksheet in my warehouse that deals with topics related to Black History Month. This may well be the least of them. As I look at it this morning, I think I could only use this to introduce the basic concept of sharecropping.
