Here are two context clues worksheets on contract as both a noun and a verb. As a verb, on the second worksheet, contract is used in the sense of limit, restrict, and to reduce to a smaller size. Contract is used in this sense both intransitively and transitively.

When I worked at an economics-and-finance-themed high school in Lower Manhattan, this context clues worksheet on the noun conglomerate was de rigueur. I’m hard pressed to imagine it isn’t a word high school students ought to know.

Here is a context clues worksheet on the verb condone, which is only used transitively–a direct object must follow it. You must condone something. I cannot think of single reason why students, upon their high school graduation, shouldn’t know this oft-used English word.

OK, as I wait for the last backup of the day to run itself to completion, here is a lesson plan on politics and leaders as a cause of history. I open this lesson with this context clues worksheet on the noun civilization. This worksheet and note-taking blank demonstrates, I think, the extent to which I use this and other of my “Causes of History” (apologies to the ILS professors at Amherst College) as brainstorming activities, driven by Socratic questioning and activated by taking notes.

I could not imagine that students wouldn’t need to know the word before they left high school, which is why I wrote this context clues worksheet on the verb concede. It’s used both intransitively and transitively.

Because it comes up consistently in social studies classes, I wrote this context clues worksheet on the noun combatant to help students master the meaning and use of this commonly used noun. This is a particularly good–and necessary–word for kids in social studies classes to know.

Here is a context clues worksheet on the adjective coherent, which I think comes as close to inarguable as it gets when considering words students should know by the time they graduate high school: students really must know this word.

After another day of edifying young minds (I hope), here is a context clues worksheet on the adjective circumspect. I guess it’s not a particularly commonly used word, but maybe it should be.
