As a general rule and a general work ethic, I seek to differentiate instruction in a way that at times amounts to individualizing it, especially where student interest is present, and especially at this time of year, when students are running out of steam and focus. Over the past couple of weeks, therefore, I have researched and composed some material for a pair of students (to wit, these two worksheets on the Video game Overwatch) and for a single students who has conceived an interest in Japanese mythology.
For that teenager, I wrote this reading comprehension worksheet on Tamamo no Mae, who is a goddess in the Japanese pantheon. If you want to use this worksheet with your students, you’ll need to direct them to this reading on Tamamo no Mae, which is a page on the yokai.com website.

In the 1860s he became military leader of the domain of Tosa, and under his command Tosa’s troops participated in the Meiji Restoration. He served sporadically in the new government, but discontent led him to found first a political club and then a national ‘Society of Patriots’ in support of greater democracy.

“Korean Amnok River River between NE China and N. Korea. Some 491 mi (790. Km) long, it rises on the N border of N. Korea, then flows to Korea Bay. It is an important source of hydroelectric power and is navigable by smaller vessels for most of its course. It became a political boundary in the 14th cent. During the Korean War, as U.N. forces battled toward it in 1950, Chinese troops crossed it, in effect marking their entry into the war.”
