Frankly, I am hard pressed to imagine that there is any demand for this Cultural Literacy worksheet on Betsy Ross. This is a half-page worksheet with a reading of two sentences and one comprehension question.

Every once in a while, I post something that I think is filler. This might be one of those.

The reading supports more than three questions–and that’s without asking critical questions about the material.
