The Weekly Text, May 31, 2019, Asian Pacific American Heritage Month 2019 Week IV: A Reading and Comprehension Worksheet on Hindu Epics

Well, we’ve reached the end of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month 2019. I’d say May has passed quickly, but I suspect that for most classroom teachers like me, May is, to paraphrase T.S. Eliot, the cruelest month.

To ring out the month, here is a reading on the Hindu Epics the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, along with the vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet that attends it.

Is anybody else in need of respite from a hectic school year?

In any case, Mark’s Text Terminal offers this reading on the Annexation of Hawaii and its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet in observation of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month 2019.
