In this time of public health crisis, it’s nice to know that at least in its past, this country produced leaders dedicated to public service and the common good–rather than grifters who see the Presidency of the United States as a side hustle.
So here is a short reading on Franklin D. Roosevelt along with its attendant vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet.

OK, before I go out for a walk on this beautiful early spring afternoon, here is a lesson plan on the Greek word root bio, which means life. I open this lesson with this context clues worksheet on the adjective vital, which hints for students at the meaning of word root at the base of of this lesson. Finally, here is the worksheet that is the primary work of this lesson.
I’ll assume, particularly of you science teachers, that I need not belabor the point of this root’s productivity in English, or its place at the base of so many words related to the life sciences.

Here is a context clues worksheet on the verb countermand. It means “to revoke (a command) by a contrary order” and “to recall or order back by a superseding contrary order.” It is only used transitively, so don’t forget to countermand something.

Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the Shakespearean character Shylock, from The Merchant of Venice. This is a Shakespearean character, like many, who has been the subject of a great deal of critical inquiry and discourse.

Here are two context clues worksheets on the verb convene (used both intransitively and transitively) and the noun convention.

Here is a lesson plan on nouns as direct objects of verbs in clauses and sentences. I open this lesson with this worksheet on the homophones compliment and complement as both nouns and verbs. Nota bene that many grammar manuals use complement as a noun to designate the direct object of a verb, so I want students to recognize it if they encounter it in such a book. Finally, here is the scaffolded worksheet that is at the center of this lesson.

Alright, I do want to remember that March is Women’s History Month. This week’s Text, in observation of the month, is a reading on flappers along with its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet. The reading is short, but it allows for the possibility of asking a critical question about them: were they avatars of female agency, and thus an early paradigm of feminism?
This post on the cartoon character Betty Boop, which I posted almost exactly a year ago, might complement today’s Text, depending on how far you want to go with this. I can tell you that the Betty Boop material has been of relatively high interest to the students I’ve served over the years.
