Since it’s a word in heavy use in English, this context clues worksheet on the adjective vague is probably overdue. This is a heavily used word, and a frequent concept in play, in the English language.

On a rainy Tuesday morning, here are five homophone worksheets on the nouns principal and principle, which are in common enough use in both basic communication and academic discourse to merit students’ attention and efforts toward their proper use.

Unless I miss my guess, this reading on trepanation, the practice of brain surgery in the Incan Empire, ought to be of high interest to a fairly wide band of students. Here is the vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet that accompanies it.

Here is a worksheet on the Latin roots mal and male. They mean, as any Spanish speaker can tell you, bad, evil, ill, and wrong. These are very productive roots in English, yielding, among many, others, malevolent and malpractice.

A little over a decade ago, I worked for a couple of years in a middle school in the North Bronx. While there, I developed a short unit on writing reviews. Somewhere in along the way, across that ten-year span, I lost the unit (it took me a while, as a slow learner on these things, to master data storage), but somehow hung onto its templates. Those are in a folder awaiting redevelopment; I do think teaching students to write reviews is a good way to guide them to a broader understanding of culture in general, and the elements of culture in particular.
While rummaging around in some old folders, I found this learning support on aesthetic criteria for writing reviews. I remember distinctly that these lists were student generated. I acted only as a Socratic foil by asking questions to clarify terms.
At some point, I’ll get back to writing the unit this document was meant to support, and post its lessons in these pages.

Earlier in the week, I had begun work on this Text with the idea of posting a complete lesson plan of some kind. However, as the news of a national measles outbreak in the United States, I changed my mind.
Because I can think of no better time than now to post this reading on vaccines and its attendant vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet.

While it isn’t much used anymore, this context clues worksheet on the verb vex goes some distance, I’d like to think, on demonstrating why this verb, used transitively only, apparently, remains a solid and useful word.

Finally, on this cool but rosy Thursday morning, here is a Culture Literacy worksheet on the idiom “curiosity killed the cat.” The expression remains current in American English and therefore its discourse, and is probably something students ought to know.

Moving right along this morning (light now appears at about 5:30 am, which suits me just fine!), here is a context clues worksheet on the noun vestige. There are a number of uses for this across common branch domains; in any case, it is almost inarguably a word students should know, so that they can master the concept of vestiges.

A couple of hundred years ago, when I was in my late teens and early twenties, The Clash liked to call themselves “the only band that matters“: indeed, it was emblazoned across the front of their towering record “London Calling.” Last week while on spring break, I listened to a podcast series on The Clash, hosted by Chuck D of pioneering Hip-Hop group Public Enemy (an inspired choice, by the way) on the streaming music service to which I subscribe. It brought back great memories of a very different time in this world of ours.
Here is a reading on The Clash and the vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet that accompanies it. When I’ve given this to alienated students to read, it has aroused, almost to a one, their interest. Whatever you think of punk rock and The Clash, there is no doubt that their music carries a message of rebellion and its concomitant, hope and action to create a better, more just world.
