Last but quite possibly least this morning, here is a on the verb phrase feel like as used with a gerund. I don’t feel like discussing why I remain skeptical of the value of this series of worksheets.

Moving right along this morning, here is a worksheet on the Latin word root tri. Do I need to tell you that it means three, and is found (as it is in this document) in such high-frequency words in English as triangle, triathlon, and triad?
I didn’t think so.

Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the air quality index that reminds us every day that we have chosen to use the atmosphere of this planet, as I believe Kurt Vonnegut once put it, as a toilet; This his a half-page worksheet with a reading of three simple sentences and two comprehension questions.

Here is a worksheet on the Greek word root tax/o. It means, simply, arrangement. So of course you’ll find this root at the base of words like taxonomy and syntax–both included on this document. However, you’ll also find on this document some scientific words, e.g. geotaxis, phyllotaxis, and thermotaxis, that are not exactly part of the vernacular.

Do you hear kids bandying about the word “anal” to describe their more fastidious or compulsive classmates? I think I have heard it at least once a year since I became a teacher. It’s mostly used properly, but when it isn’t, this Cultural Literacy worksheet on the anal personality might help to clarify things. This is a half-page worksheet with a reading of two compound sentences and three comprehension questions.
There’s no mention of Sigmund Freud here, which is an interesting omission considering that the anal stage is the second part of his theory of psychosexual development. This worksheet, again, just explains the basics of the anal personality’s characteristics as (from the text) “…excessive orderliness, extreme meticulousness, and often suspicion and reserve.”

Adapted from Paul Brians‘ excellent book Common Errors in English Usage (to which he allows access at no charge under this hyperlink), here is a worksheet on the use of the nouns individual and person in declarative sentence. This is a full-page worksheet with only the short reading from Mr. Brians’ book: the actual work for this document is a free-write using both individual and person in sentences, and then assessing which word sounds better in prose.
And that is pretty much it.

Moving along on this run I’m on this morning, here is a reading on Robert Oppenheimer along with its attendant vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet. He’s always been a figure who interested me–mostly for the crisis of conscience he suffered for what he unleashed on the world.

Here is a worksheet on the Latin word root trans. It means, variously, across, through, change, and beyond. You recognize it, I am confident, as the root of such words–all included on this document–as transact, transcribe, transfer, and transit. And of course you’ll find it in all kinds oc commonly used English words like transport and transcend, both of which indicates one of this roots connotations: not just across, but to move across.
