Here’s a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Lincoln’s “House Divided” speech. I’ll proceed to my next post on the assumption I don’t need to belabor this high point in American rhetoric.

These five worksheets on the homophones grizzly and grisly–they’re both adjectives–are the last set of homophone worksheets in my data warehouse. In all, I wrote 72 sets of five worksheets for a variety of these kinds of words; that means there are 360 of these worksheets on Mark’s Text Terminal. To find them, simply look at the word cloud, click on “homophones” and every post containing these documents should appear.

Health teachers, if you can use them, here is a short reading on bulimia and its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet. I hope you can use it. This has tended to be high-interest material in my classrooms, so I have tagged it as such.

Here’s the last post of the day and for the final Friday of Women’s History Month 2020, a short reading on the fascinating Victoria Woodhull and its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet.

Here is something new at Mark’s Text Terminal: a reading and analysis lesson plan derived from the text of Barbara Ann Kipfer’s book The Order of Things. I’ll be writing up a summary of this work and its purpose on the “About Posts & Texts” page, which you can click through to just above the banner photograph. I am still thinking through how to describe the object of these lessons (I have 30 of them outlined at this point), but I can say this much: these worksheets are an attempt to provide students practice, as a road to developing their own understanding of what former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich called the work of “symbolic analysts.”
This first lesson plan is on the admission of the first 13 of the United States. The worksheet for this lesson calls upon students to read and analyze both language and numbers (two sets of symbols, in other words) in order to answer a series of relatively simple comprehension questions. There is a lot of room to alter this material to you and your students’ needs; as always, these documents are in Microsoft Word, so they are easily manipulable.
More of these are forthcoming, as is a more extensive explanation of them and rationale for their use, as above, on the “About Posts & Texts” page.

OK. Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on hunting and gathering societies. I’m hard pressed to imagine that this doesn’t belong as a foundation stone in any social studies curriculum.
Hell, it may even arouse interest in building a cooperative society. Remember cooperation? I liked it.

Here is a context clues worksheet on the verb dawn. It’s only used intransitively. The context clues I use call upon students to infer that two meanings of this word, to wit. “to begin to grow light as the sun rises” and “to begin to be perceived or understood.”

As I’ve previously mentioned, the Crime and Puzzlement material I post on this site quickly became, and remains, among the most popular and therefore heavily downloaded items here. So, here is a lesson plan on the Crime and Puzzlement case “Buck Shot.”
This Cultural Literacy worksheet on the idiom “Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining” opens the lesson as a do-now exercise to get students settled, engaged, and thinking after a class change. You’ll need the PDF of the illustration and questions in order to conduct the investigation; to solve it, here is the typescript of the answer key.

Here is a worksheet on the Greek word roots the and theo. They mean god. You can find them in many key conceptual words in the high school curriculum, particularly pantheism and monotheism.

OK, here is a reading on the Bill of Rights and its attendant vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet. The Bill of Rights is, of course, the name we citizens of the United States give to the aggregated first ten amendments to our Constitution. They are, both hermeneutically and politically, some of the most hotly contested language in our founding documents.
Therefore, conceptually, there is a lot to unpack here if you want to dilate on this material: continuity and change, citizens and the law, historical perspective (particularly the Third Amendment, on quartering troops), the spirit and letter of the law, the Supreme Court’s function in our republic–you get the picture.
