Here is a reading on respirator therapy along with its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet. When I pulled out this reading yesterday to process it into the finished documents you see here, I thought it would be a timely item to post. The reading is primarily about the device, long obsolete, if the number of them I’ve seen in junk shops over the years, is any indication known as the iron lung.
So, this doesn’t tell the story of the kinds of ventilators used for keeping COVID19 patients alive, but rather some of its predecessors. That said, there is some information about CPAP machines, a device relatively well-known these days. In any case, the deeper meaning of the reading–what life is like when one must depend on a machine to breathe–is timely indeed.

Here is a lesson on pollutants in the air and its accompanying worksheet with a list and its comprehension questions. This is basically a short exercise–informed by a list from Barbara Ann Kipfer’s The Order of Things–that calls upon students to deal simultaneously with two different symbolic systems, to wit numbers and words.

Finally this morning, here is a worksheet on the Greek roots pneum, pneumon-o, -pnea and -pnoea. They mean, variously, breathing, lung, air, and spirit (leave it to the Greeks to blend the literal and metaphorical with ease). This is another worksheet for students interested in the health professions.

It’s Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day today, and it well may be a word, as the 2020 school year takes shape, that parents and students need to know. So, here is a context clues worksheet on the noun tutelage. You can no doubt hear its relationship to tutor.
So enough said.

OK, here is the second of two lessons on ancient Egypt. I open this lesson with this worksheet on the noun diaspora; this is a very heavily used words in historical discourse, and I cannot tell you how many times students have asked me to define if for them over the years. If this lesson goes into a second day (I wrote this and the five lessons that precede it below to be taught over a two-day period, FYI), here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the grim reaper. It might not be the best choice for this lesson, but there are plenty of others elsewhere on this website–simply click on the “Cultural Literacy” tag in the word cloud. Finally, here is the worksheet at the center of this lesson with its reading and comprehension questions.
And that is it. In the the six documents posts below (with the interstitial quotes between them), you’ll find most of the rest of the lessons in this far-from-perfect unit.

Here’s the first of two lesson plans on ancient Egypt. I open this lesson with this context clues worksheet on the noun empire. In the event that this lesson goes into a second day (and, as below, I’m fairly certain I wrote all of the preceding five lessons with this in mind, so if you teach this lesson over two days, you’ll need this second do-now exercise), here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the ancient Greek city-state of Sparta. Finally, here is the worksheet at the center of this lesson with its reading and comprehension questions.

Continuing on with the distribution of the second unit of my freshman global studies cycle for struggling kids, here is a lesson plan on Egyptian and Mesopotamian technology. I open this lesson with this context clues worksheet on the noun commerce. As the lesson seques into a second day (as below, I am certain I wrote all these lessons to extend over two days), here, to complement the first do-now, is a context clues worksheet on the noun labor. Finally, here is the worksheet with its reading and comprehension questions.

Moving right along (see the documents posts below) with a specialized set of lesson plans on prehistory and ancient history, here is a lesson plan on the ages of metals. I opened this lesson with this context clues worksheet on the noun caravan. As the lesson goes into its second day (I’m fairly certain I intended to do that, again, as below, when I wrote it), here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the Seven Wonders of the World. Finally, here is the worksheet with its reading and comprehension questions.
