Here, for a Monday morning, is a short exercise on the Greek word roots esthes, aesthes, esthet, and aesthet. They mean feeling and sensation. This root is at the base of quite a few words used in discussion and inquiry in the humanities, particular art, literature, and religion.

The New Year blew in to New York City with a “cyclone bomb” yesterday, whatever that is. For my part, I went out to lunch about three blocks from my apartment building in The Bronx. Imagine, if you can, a violent midsummer thunderstorm; instead of warm temperatures and rain, however, it was twenty-two degrees with relatively wet (especially considering the temperature) and heavy snow driven by strong winds.
Anyway, Happy New Year!
This week’s Text is a complete lesson plan on adverbs modifying sentences. To begin this lesson, I use this Cultural Literacy worksheet on dogma. If the lesson runs into a second day, and you wish to use a short do-now exercise to get it started, here is a parsing sentences worksheet on adjectives. The mainstay of this lesson is this structured exercise on using adverbs to modify entire sentences. When teaching this lesson, I find students more often than not require (or at least benefit from) this word-bank learning support. Finally, for your convenience, here is the teacher’s copy of the worksheet.

Here is a context clues worksheet on the noun grievance I recently wrote to attend a lesson on the French Revolution.
