Ok, here’s one last post for Labor Day, to wit, this reading on King John and the comprehension worksheet that accompanies it. This is, of course, the King John whose barons forced him to sign the Magna Carta.

Here is my last set of parsing sentences worksheets, these four on pronouns. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts about this type of document, I’m not sure if anyone parses sentences anymore in classrooms; I think it’s a defensible exercise, particularly with struggling readers and writers. and it does teach the concept of basic English usage–something, alas, that doesn’t appear to matter in New York City schools.

Here are five homophone worksheets on its and it’s. I guess, strictly speaking, these aren’t really homophones, since they both employ it, a neuter pronoun with a fixed meaning. These worksheets really address the punctuation of these words. Students, particularly English language learners in my experience, accustomed to forming the possessive case of nouns with an apostrophe find the punctuation of these two words counterintuitive. Thus, these worksheets to provide some practical experience using this pronoun in these two forms in sentences.
The worksheets themselves have a somewhat lengthy excursus, in their definition of its, on pronoun-antecedent agreement when using this possessive pronoun. That material derives from my study, a few years back, of the Trivium and its possibilities for use in my classroom. The book I read went on at some length, as I recall, about the importance to logic and grammar of not using locutions like “the committee did their work” and favoring “the committee did its work”. I suspect that in some cases that material would be better deployed on an entirely separate series of worksheets that contrast its and their in pronoun-antecedent grammar exercises.
