It’s time to get out for a walk, so I’ll wrap up this morning with this Cultural Literacy worksheet on epicureanism.

This context clues worksheet on the verb sandbag almost certainly results in a certain lack of judiciousness on my part when choosing which of Merriam-Webster’s Words of the Day merit or require worksheet treatment. In any case, this verb is used both transitively and intransitively.
In that worksheet’s context, sandbag means, as a transitive verb, sandbag to conceal or misrepresent one’s true potential, position, or intent, esp. in order to take advantage of; used intransitively, it means to hide the truth about oneself so as to gain an advantage over another. In other words, it means basically the same thing whether one uses it with a direct object of not.

Here is a worksheet on the Greek word root dox. It means belief and praise, so the word orthodox suddenly makes a lot more sense, as do the other words on this relatively short exercise.

The story of Orson Welles’ broadcast of H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds fascinated me as a grade-schooler. I think I was first exposed to it in around fifth grade. But even at that tender age, I was surprised that people were taken in by it–but also sympathetic that they were. I remember trying to imagine myself in the place of the folks who thought Welles was delivering news, rather than a science-fiction story. I could, but only barely.
Any way, here is a reading on Orson Welles’ broadcast of War of the Worlds along with its attendant vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet.

It’s a word we teachers bandy about enough that students have certainly heard it, perhaps even ad nauseum. This context clues worksheet on the noun rigor should help clear up its meaning for our students, and supply the corollary benefit of helping them understand just what it is we seek to do in the classroom.

Finally, on this warm and rainy Thursday morning in Springfield, Massachusetts, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the epic as a literary genre. If you’re teaching Homer, this might be just the squib for introducing the conceptual foundations of the epic genre.

It was Merriam-Webster’s word of the day a while back, so I wrote this context clues worksheet on the verb regale. It is used both intransitively and transitively. I’m not sure high school students need to use it at all; if you think they do, or at least might, then it’s yours for the taking.
It means “to entertain sumptuously : feast with delicacies” and “to give pleasure or amusement to <regaled us with tall tales>.”

Here’s a reading on steroids and its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet if you want them. I hope that there isn’t a real need for these documents–because that could mean kids are using steroids, a scary thought.

These two learning supports on helping verbs have been a staple for for struggling readers and writers in my classroom. They’ll probably turn up again on Mark’s Text Terminal when I post lessons on this area of English usage.

While it isn’t probably isn’t much used by high school students, this context clues worksheet on the adjective recalcitrant might serve to help students understand abstractions, if nothing else.
Then again, maybe high school students should learn this word and its uses.
