Here is a worksheet on the verb expect as it is used with an infinitive. In the future, I expect to use better judgment when producing curricular material.

There has been a lot of talk about civics education in my corner of the world of public education, but virtually no action. At a time when democracy around the world is under clear and demonstrable threat, it is clearly time to deal with revitalizing the political structure that Winston Churchill so wittily said is “…the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…”
I doubt whether this Cultural Literacy worksheet on the concept of a write-in candidate will do anything to buttress democracy, but I would argue that as we send our graduating high school seniors out in the world to exercise their franchise, this is a concept they should understand. This is half-page worksheet with a one-sentence reading–38 words though, with an element in parentheses, which may require editing for some students–and one comprehension question.

Do you have any cinephiles (or cineastes, if you prefer) on your hands this summer? Fans of Turner Classic Movies (which has been in the news lately), perhaps? If so, this reading on the film classic Casablanca and its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet might be useful. This is a reading from the Intellectual Devotional series, so a full page of text, along with my standard configuration for the worksheet: eight vocabulary words to define, eight comprehension questions, and the usual one to three “Additional Facts” questions–in this reading, it is three questions under that heading.

Metope: Rectangular panel found alternating with triglyphs on the frieze if a Greek Doric entablature.
Excerpted from: Diamond, David G. The Bulfinch Pocket Dictionary of Art Terms. Boston: Little Brown, 1992.
Here is a worksheet on the verb decide as followed by an infinitive. For some reason, I decided to waste my time on the composition of curricular material of dubious value.

Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Woodrow Wilson. This is a two-page worksheet with a reading of ten sentences (a full paragraph, in other words) and eight comprehension questions. As usual, the editors of The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy render with economy a complex biography of a public figure. The reading, you probably won’t be surprised to hear, neglects to mention President Wilson’s racism, which is a critical question well worth exploring.
Anything, I suppose, to strike a blow against the hideousness of American exceptionalism.

Here is a lesson plan on the Latin word roots patr, patri, and pater. You may perceive–correctly–that these mean “father.” This is a productive root in English yielding such commonly used words as patriotism and paternity, as well as some less common, but quite useful, words like patrimony and patrilineal.
I open this lesson with this context clues worksheet on the noun founder. It means, in the context of the sentences in the document, “one that founds or establishes.” Finally, here is the scaffolded worksheet on these Latin roots that serves as the mainstay of this lesson’s work.

Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the concept of a friend of the court. This is a half-page worksheet with a reading of two sentences (the second of which is a compound–two clauses separated by a semicolon) and two comprehension questions. In other words, this is a basic introduction to an important concept in jurisprudence, particularly at the level of the Supreme Court. Right now, given the sleaze we’re seeing from at least two associate justices, i.e. taking lavish trips funded by individuals with business before the court, the Supreme Court needs all the friends it can get.

Here, on an oppressively humid Monday morning in Brooklyn, is a reading on Robert De Niro along with its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet. This has tended to be high-interest material, especially among young men, so I have so tagged it.
Nota bene, please, that the reading cites “eight collaborations” between Mr. De Niro and Martin Scorsese. In fact, at least two more collaborations–The Irishman and the forthcoming Killers of the Flower Moon between these towering figures in American cinema have occurred since this reading was published. In other words, as film history continues to unfold where it concerns Scorsese and De Niro, this reading will need revision.

Last and quite possibly least this morning, here is a worksheet on the verb deserve when used with an infinitive. Users of Mark’s Text Terminal deserve to find better material than this on the site.
