It seems to me that if you’re teaching any sort of global studies or world history course that includes the twentieth century in its chronology, this Cultural Literacy worksheet on war crimes will be of some use to you.

Here is, before I go off to proctor a high-stakes test, a parsing sentences worksheet for pronouns. It calls upon students to identify all the pronouns in a series of five sentences.

Last week I thought I’d posted the last of the short word root exercises I had. However, this morning as I ran the heuristic Hoover around my archives, I found this worksheet on the Greek root olig/o. It is the basis of a word I consider very timely, to wit Oligarchy. Anyway, it means few and deficiency.

Here is a parsing sentences worksheet for adverbs. Students read the sentences and identify all the adverbs in each–pretty simple, in other words. Don’t forget to tell students that adverbs signal how something is done.

Late spring cleaning continues at Mark’s Text Terminal, and I’ll take a moment here to post the last of my short word root exercises, this exercise on the Greek root xanth/o. It means yellow. It will turn up at the base of many words in the sciences.

This week’s Text is a complete lesson plan on using adverbs to modify adjectives.
I begin this lesson with this short Cultural Literacy exercise on the idiomatic expression If the shoe fits, wear it. I like to keep a second do-now ready in the event that this lesson, for whatever reason, runs into a second day, so here is a second Cultural Literacy on the concept of avatar. This structured, scaffolded worksheet on adverbs modifying adjectives is the mainstay of this lesson, and you will probably want the teacher’s copy of it as well. Finally, here is a learning support in the form of a word bank that will help your students identify the best words to use in the cloze exercises in the first section of the worksheet.
That’s it. See you next week, if not before.

Over the past couple of days, and after a couple of decades, I reread William Zinsser’s fine book Writing to Learn; it was every bit as good as I remembered it. William Zinsser was a superlative prose stylist himself. Reading him on writing, quite simply, is a glimpse inside the workshop of a master.
And I found a passage in it, which Mr. Zinsser excerpted from something Norman Mailer wrote about the infamous Benny Paret vs. Emile Griffith III fight in 1962. Because I have a student this year involved and interested in boxing, I grabbed the passage and worked up, just now, this short exercise on identifying active verbs in a passage of text. Nota bene that there are two pages in this document; the second is the teacher’s copy/answer key with the active verbs in bold. I’m still trying to figure out lesson plans for these one-off differentiated worksheets. If you can use it, here is a lesson plan template to accompany the worksheet, which you can complete as you see fit (obviously).

Here is a word root worksheet on the Greek root rhod/o. It means red. Now you know why, even though they are often purple, those beautiful plants are called rhododendrons.
