While I doubt you have much call for it, here, nonetheless, is a context clues worksheet on the Latinism vox populi. It’s a noun phrase meaning, just as it sounds, “voice of the people.”

Several years ago, the school administration under which I then served tasked me with developing math and science vocabulary in a group of struggling students. I wrote a unit on the fly, and then never used it because that fall I was summoned to jury duty (a stint which ended up lasting two months) in Bronx County.
This complete lesson plan on the word simplify and the concept of simplifying is one of the fruits of my labor. As I say, I never had a chance to actually deliver this lesson in the classroom. In any case, I envisioned starting the lesson with this extended context clues worksheet on the transitive verb simplify. The center of this lesson is this worksheet on simplifying numbers that a math teacher and I collaborated on to develop–he actually ended up teaching this lesson in my absence, and so provided some revisions after he’d had a crack at it. Finally, here is a learning support with definitions of the verbs simplify and solve.

For some reason, when I lived in New York, high school freshmen would arrive in my classroom without knowing what the adjective urban means, which made teaching about ancient civilizations difficult. I wrote this context clues worksheet on the adjective urban in an attempt to deal with this gap in learning.

Since it’s Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day today, and I am on a two-hour delay for the start of the school day, circumstances both permit and require me to off this context clues worksheet on the verb proliferate. Merriam-Webster says it is used both intransitively and transitively, although I don’t know that I have ever used it transitively.
Would it look and sound like this? “The lobbyist from Big Bummer proliferated legislation promoting bad vibes wherever he went.”

In our current political and social environment, I think there is a strong case to be made that students possess the vocabulary to describe and understand people whose ideologies trump common sense and the direct evidence of their senses. Maybe these two context clues worksheets on the noun zeal and the adjective zealous will go some distance to meeting that end.

Last weekend it was one of Merriam-Webster’s Words of the Day, so here is a context clues worksheet on the noun foray. The word is in common enough usage, and more importantly is a word that, for an abstraction, has strong concrete properties. It is in common enough usage that it’s a word students ought to know by the time they graduate high school, I submit.

Here is a context clues worksheet on the verb adjudicate, which is used both transitively, and intransitively. It seems like a word that could usefully find its way into the lexicons of teenagers–especially those already looking down the road at law school.

While I’m not sure it’s a word high school students need to know, because it’s Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day today, and I like a challenge here is a context clues worksheet on the adjective myopic. I found it difficult to create context whose contrast would clearly define the second meaning of this adjective, in the sense of “lacking in foresight or discernment : narrow in perspective and without concern for broader implications.” Maybe that’s because it’s Friday, and my pea brain hurts.
