OK, last but not least on this gloomy Sunday morning, here is a worksheet on the verb ask used with an infinitive. I ask you to evaluate these dubious worksheets.

Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on realism in literature and art. This is a half-page document with a reading of two sentences, the second of which is longish compound, and two comprehension questions. Once again, just the basics.

Here is a context clues worksheet on the noun cohesion. It means “the act or state of sticking together tightly, especially unity <the lack of unity in the Party —Times Lit. Supp.>,” “union between similar plant parts or organs,” and “molecular attraction by which the particles of a body are united throughout the mass.” This word tends to show up more commonly in its adjectival form, cohesive (“exhibiting or producing cohesion or coherence”). As this document is formatted in Microsoft Word, you can easily convert it to cohesive if that better suits your needs.
Otherwise, stay tuned, as I will eventually get around to writing a worksheet for cohesive. I suspect this one, on cohesion, was a word of the day at Merriam-Webster at some point, which is how it ends up in my warehouse.

From Paul Brians’ book Common Errors in English Usage (to which he allows access at no cost at the Washington State University Website), here is a worksheet on the use of the adjective, adverb, and preposition regardless. The gist of this work involves understanding that irregardless is a redundancy–and therefore a solecism in prose. In any case, this is a full-page worksheet with a three-sentence reading and ten sentences to rewrite.

Do you remember the Cabbage Patch Kids? If not, and you feel compelled to recall them, here is a reading on the Cabbage Patch Kids along with its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet. They came and went pretty quickly in the 1980s, so you won’t be surprised to hear that this reading tells a story about the ebb and flow of popular trends and the business successes and failures–both in evidence here–they cause.

Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on metaphor. This is a half-page document with a reading of two sentences–one of them a complicated compound with multiple clauses, a colon, and semicolons (in other words, emergent readers and English language learners may need some support here) and three basic comprehension questions. In other words, an introduction to the concept of metaphor, but little else.
If you are teaching metaphor and seek more materials on this website, simply search “metaphor” from the home page. I just did, and was surprised how much material has stacked up here over the years.

OK, last but not least for today and for National Native American Heritage Month 2022, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the Mayas. This is a half-page worksheet with a reading of two longish compound sentences and four comprehension questions. Again, just the basics.
