Here is a lesson plan on Plato, the eighth (as above and below) of an eleven-lesson global studies unit on the origins of religion and philosophy.

I open this lesson with this context clues worksheet on debate as a verb (it’s used both intransitively and transitively), and another on the adjective cogent in the event the lesson spills over into a second day. The principal work of this lesson is this short reading with comprehension questions on Plato.

Finally, here is the reading and comprehension questions that are at the center of this lesson on the origins of Judaism.

In the event this lesson goes into a second (I’m fairly certain I intended that it would), then here is another context clues worksheet on the verb assimilate, which is used both intransitively and transitively. Finally, here is the reading and comprehension questions on Moses and the origins of the Judaism.
