On a Tuesday morning, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the concepts of yin and yang. This is one of the most recognizable and even well-known concepts in Chinese culture.

There aren’t many Mondays left in the 2017-2018 school year, and I’m glad. On this particular Monday, here is a short independent practice worksheet on Genghis Khan (i.e. homework).

It’s Friday again, as the weeks and years spin by. Mark’s Text Terminal continues to observe Asian Pacific American Heritage Month by offering, as This week’s Text, a reading on novelist Amy Tan with this comprehension worksheet to accompany it. Also, her is an Everyday Edit exercise on Hiroshima (and if you like it, you can get a yearlong supply of them from the extremely generous proprietors of the Education World website.

Here is a short independent practice on the Daimyo, Japan’s feudal lords. This is key material for understanding Japan’s ruling class, and offers material for comparative study with feudal structures elsewhere in the world.

Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, much of the work of which, as is relatively common knowledge (I hope), was done by Chinese immigrant labor.
That’s the reason it shows up during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

Here, on a Tuesday morning, is a short independent practice on Babylonia. Independent practice is a something of a euphemism for homework, though I think it better reflects my own goals for students completing these kinds of assignments.

There aren’t many Monday mornings left in the school year; while I dislike wishing my life away, I am looking forward to the summer, ergo the end of the school year. Who isn’t at this point in the year?
Anyway, on this Monday morning, here is a Cultural Literacy Worksheet on the Ottoman Empire.

For the first text of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, I offer a materials on one of the most ignoble pieces of legislation ever to pass through our legislative and executive branch, the Chinese Exclusion Act.
So, here is a reading on the Chinese Exclusion Act along with this comprehension worksheet on it. Finally, here is an Everyday Edit on the late Senator Daniel Inouye (and if you want or need more Everyday Edit worksheets, I highly recommend visiting the Everyday Edit page at Education World, where you will find the generous proprietors of the site give away away a yearlong supply of them for free!).

Here, on a Thursday morning, is a short independent practice assignment on Buddhism. In other words, this is homework; I don’t use the word in my classroom because it is loaded. In any case, consistent with Alfie Kohn’s book The Homework Myth, which exercises a large influence on my thinking on this issue, I try to help students understand the difference between homework qua homework and independent practice, which calls upon them to practice that day’s classwork on their own.

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, May 1st begins Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Initially, I was concerned that I lacked significant materials to observe the month properly; however, upon review of the Text Terminal Archives, I find that I have an abundance of materials to offer in observation of it.
So, let’s start with this Cultural Literacy Worksheet on Genghis Khan. As a college professor of mine once put it, he was an “industrious fellow.”
