While I realize it is not word in particularly common use (not to mention students in secondary schools one hopes, not experienced the concept in their own lives yet), I think there is nonetheless the place in the high school classroom for this context clues worksheet on the noun nadir.

Here are five worksheets on the homophones bare and bear. They’re short, and therefore, in my classroom, useful for a number of purposes, most commonly to begin an instructional period after a class transition.

If a teacher maintains a healthy sense of humor about him- or herself, I would argue, he or she will find him- or herself as the butt of students’ jokes, which may even manifest itself in classroom banter. Put another way, and more subjectively, my students and I have had a few laughs at my expense on more than one occasion.
Students should possess the vocabulary to describe this badinage, hence the arrival of this context clues worksheet on the transitive verb heckle, which doesn’t exactly describe this classroom situation; that said, it gives teacher and students an opportunity to discuss the difference between heckling and banter.

Last year, for the first time, I taught sophomore global studies in an integrated co-teaching (ICT) classroom here in New York City. This cycle of social studies instruction covers the period, roughly, from the beginning of the Enlightenment to the present day. In this maelstrom, I found it a bit odd that the curriculum didn’t at least touch on The Dreyfus Affair, if for no other reason its role as a precursor to the anti-Semitic horrors of the twentieth century.
Superficial though it may be, here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the Dreyfus Affair. It is a modest attempt to rectify what I consider to be a significant gap in the New York State sophomore global studies curriculum.
