Here are a pair of Cultural Literacy worksheets on matriarchy and patriarchy. This is a pair of binary concepts students really ought to know; I think they could be profitably introduced early on in the global studies cycle, along with early humans.

I don’t want to let Women’s History Month 2019 pass without posting something related to Alice Walker. To that end, here is a reading Ms. Walker’s novel The Color Purple and a vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet to accompany it. These, I was pleased to see, were of no small interest to the young women in the classes I currently teach.

It’s Thursday, and as another week proceeds to its end, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the goddess Athena. She is, as you will recognize in the nouns Athens and Athenaeum, an important figure in both the Greek pantheon and Western civilization.

Moving right along with Women’s History Month 2019, here is an Everyday Edit worksheet on Gwendolyn Brooks (and if you like this, the good folks at Education World will give you a yearlong supply of them).
Also, here is a PDF of Ms. Brooks’ linguistically elegant poem “We Real Cool.”
Continuing with Women’s History Month 2019, here are a reading on Queen Victoria and a vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet to accompany it. Given her outsized influence in British history, as well as the adjectival form of her name–Victorian–serving as a metaphor for a kind of stuffy, repressed age, whenever and wherever it occurs–she seems to me someone with whom students should have at least a passing familiarity.

It’s Monday again, the first of Women’s History Month 2019, which Mark’s Text Terminal will observe with Women’s History-related posts for the entire month. Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Marian Anderson. I am happy to report that the authors, even in the squib that serves as a reading for this worksheet, mentioned the ugly racist indignity Ms. Anderson suffered in 1941.

Today begins Women’s History Month 2019. That means every blog post on Mark’s Text Terminal during the month of March will be related in some way to the contributions of women to the world.
This reading on Ida B. Wells, the legendary journalist and anti-lynching activist, and its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet serve as a nice link between Black History Month and Women’s History Month. Here, also, is flexible ancillary worksheet that I’ve just begun to write for these readings. I’m not sure where exactly (or even approximately, for that matter) I want to take these worksheets, but the basic idea is to move students along by asking them deeper, more inferential and analytical questions.

Here is an independent practice worksheet on the Kingdom of Aksum, which was located in the north of present-day Ethiopia. If you teach social studies, and particularly global studies, or world history, of whatever your school or district calls the history of global civilizations, than you are no doubt aware of the importance of Aksum.
This is really something, I think, kids ought to know.

OK: here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Thurgood Marshall to reminds students of this major–and great–figure in the United States in the twentieth century.

Here, on a Tuesday morning as Black History Month 2019 winds down, is a reading on the great Chuck Berry and its attendant vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet.
This is the guy, basically, who invented rock and roll. High schoolers should know who he is.
