OK, moving right along on this grey, damp morning in southwestern Vermont, here is a lesson plan on the Crime and Puzzlement case “Over the Cliffs and Down We Go.”
I open this lesson with this Cultural Literacy worksheet on the idiom, derived from a longer proverb, “For Want of a Nail.” You’ll need this PDF of the illustration and questions that constitute the evidence of this case to conduct your investigation. Finally, here is the typescript of the answer key so that you can complete the investigation and bring the suspect to justice.

Here is a worksheet on the Greek word roots path-o and pathy. They mean both disease and feeling. As you can probably see from looking at them, these are extremely productive roots in English, giving us words like pathology, sympathy, and empathy. There might be something to be done, using this worksheet, in helping students understand the mind-body connection in medicine and, indeed, in life.
In any case, this is another word root students looking at careers in healthcare ought to know.

This week’s Text, in the continuing–but premature–observation of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month 2020–returns to the subject with which I began the month, to wit, this reading on the internment camps in which American citizens of Asian Pacific descent were held during World War II along with its vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet. We Americans think ourselves exceptional, but nationalism, tyranny, and bigotry are anything but exceptional–they are the tedious crap to which we as a species have subscribed for centuries.
That’s something worth remembering as our idiot president uses locutions like “Chinese virus” and violence against Americans of Asian descent is on the rise.

Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the Academy Awards. This may be high-interest material for some students, though I can’t recall any of students I’ve served asking for it–so I have not tagged it as high interest.

On a rainy, chilly Friday morning in southwestern Vermont, here are two context clues worksheets on the noun duty and the adjective dutiful.
And I submit to you, editorially of course, that these two words, and the two concepts the words represent, ought to be very active in our public and private discourse right now.

Here is an English usage worksheet on differentiating the nouns Islam and Muslim. Don’t forget that May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month 2020 (and that I began posting materials for it a month early because, like–increasingly–the days of the week, I lost track of the month).

OK, last but not least this morning, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the idiom “All’s Fair in Love and War.” It’s a nice abstract expression that students, if you want to augment, could work to reify in a few sentences.

Here are two context clues worksheets on the noun congress if you can use them. Incidentally, these present an opportunity to help students further differentiate between proper and common nouns–congress is used both ways in these documents. A simple question like “Why is this noun capitalized in some sentences and not in others?” would push the conversation in the direction you need it to go to develop understanding of this area of usage.
