OK, here is a lesson plan on the Crime and Puzzlement case “End of a Villain.”
I use this cultural literacy worksheet on the American idiom “Once in a Blue Moon” to begin this lesson after the class change that brings students into my classroom. Here, from a Crime and Puzzlement book itself, are the illustration, text, and questions that drive this lesson. Finally, here is the answer key for the case.

This seems like as good (or the best) a time as any to post this short reading on the problem of evil and vocabulary building and comprehension worksheet that accompanies it.

On a rainy Saturday morning (aside: should it be pouring rain in New England on January 5th? Shouldn’t this be snow?), Mark’s Text Terminal is humming right along. Here are five worksheets on the homophones pore, poor, and pour. A few notes about these words: pore as a verb is apparently only used intransitively, and in its most common application in English is used with the adverb over; as a verb, pour can be used both intransitively and transitively. While these worksheets don’t address it, pour can also be used as a noun, and can mean the action of pouring, and instance of pouring or an amount poured, and a heavy fall of rain: DOWNPOUR.

It was Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day yesterday, so here today is a context clues worksheet on the adjective abominable. It strikes me as a good word to use to demonstrate English morphology by pointing out to students its forms as a noun (abomination), a verb (abominate) and an adverb (abominably).

While I’m not sure why I prepared it in the first place–this isn’t something even touched upon, let alone covered in depth, in the global studies classes I co-taught in New York City–here in any case are a reading on the Peace of Westphalia and the comprehension worksheet that accompanies it.
