OK, here is a worksheet on the verb phrase can’t stand when used with an infinitive or a gerund. I can’t stand to waste time on sketchy material.

Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Shakespeare’s play Othello. This is a full-page worksheet with a reading of four sentences and five comprehension questions. It is a relatively spare synopsis of the play, so I wonder how useful it might be. It could serve as a do-now–which is what most of the Cultural Literacy worksheet on this site are intended to do.

This week’s Text is this the second of two lesson plans on painting and sculpture from Barbara Ann Kipfer’s The Order of Things. You’ll need this worksheet with a list as a reading and comprehension questions. If you want the first lesson as well, published on 24 January of this year, you’ll find it under this hyperlink.
I just want to note, again, that the lessons from The Order of Things posted on this blog are aimed at students with low levels of literacy or learners of English as a new language.

Here is worksheet on the verb continue as used with an infinitive. I continue to post these dubious materials, which I have figured out also may be used to join a verb and a gerund.

Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the tsunami as, you know, a seismic event. This is a half-page worksheet with a reading of three relatively simple sentences and three comprehension questions. Just the basics, but with a good explanation of the fact that tsunamis are also called tidal waves.

This week’s Text is this reading on batteries along with its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet. Since most if not all students now carry a smart phone, this reading, to my surprise, has become a high-interest item; thus, I have tagged it as such.
Students want to know, apparently, how to keep these high-tech toys going.

OK: Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the Pythagorean theorem. This is a full-page worksheet with a reading of four sentences and four comprehension questions. I’m not a math teacher–it has been, historically, a difficult subject for me–so I can’t vouch for the cogency of this reading. I can say that the first sentence, a long compound of 40 words with multiple comma breaks, is a doozy; for emergent and struggling readers, this might best broken up.

This week’s Text is a lesson plan on the word root retro. It’s of Latin origin and means, as you might have already guessed, “back,” “backward,” and “behind.” The commonly used English words retrofit, retrograde, retroactive, and retrospect grow from this root.
I open this lesson with this context clues worksheet on the adjective vintage. This scaffolded worksheet, replete with cognates from the Romance languages, is the principal work of this lesson.

This Cultural Literacy worksheet on Annie Oakley seems like kind of an odd place to end this year’s Women’s History Month, but she is a woman and part of United States history, so here we are. This is a half-page document with a three-sentence reading, all of them of reasonable simplicity, and three comprehension questions.
