Moving right along this morning, here is an Everyday Edit worksheet on Hawaii, America’s 50th State.
And as always, to give credit where it is so abundantly due, you should know that the good people at Education World generously offer at no cost to you a yearlong supply of these documents. I’ve used them for many years in my classrooms, and they are first rate.
And if you find typos in this document, for heaven’s sake fix them! That’s the whole point here….
OK, last but not least this afternoon, for you health teachers, here is a short reading on testis along with its attendant vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet if you can use them.
If you find typos in these documents, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
Global studies teachers, here is an independent practice worksheet on the Ashikaga shogunate. This is a basic reading comprehension worksheet. I cannot remember why I wrote it, but I must have needed it for something. Like almost everything else at Mark’s Text Terminal, this document is in Microsoft Word; it is easily manipulated for your needs.
If you find typos in this document, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
In observation of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month 2020, here is an Everyday Edit worksheet on Yoshiko Uchida, the Japanese-American writer who suffered the indignity of internment in California during World War II (see above). Please don’t forget that the generous proprietors of the Education World website give away for the taking a yearlong supply of Everyday Edit worksheets. I’ve used these documents to very good effect in my classrooms over the years.
OK, finally this morning, here is a worksheet on the Latin word root liter. While it sounds like it should be related to a measure of liquid (as we use it by itself in English), it actually means letter. Now you know why you find it at the root of words like literature in English. Needless to say, this is a very productive root in English.
If you find typos in this document, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
OK, I’m drawing down to the last couple of posts for this morning. Here is a high-interest (depending on whom you’re teaching, I guess) reading on John Lennon along with its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet.
If you find typos in these documents, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.

Here is a context clues worksheet on the noun contraption. Kids who have been read to as children very likely have heard and therefore understand this word; kids who haven’t enjoyed the benefits of nightly story time, and English language learners, probably have not. In any case, it is a word in common enough use in English that kids ought to know it.

April is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, so for the next 30 days I’ll post a plethora of materials related to the history of Asia and Asians in global history. To that end, here is an Everyday Edit worksheet on the Sapporo Snow Festival. If you find typos in this document, fix them! That’s the point of the exercise.
Because I always feel remiss anytime I fail to give credit where credit is due, let me remind you (as I will every time I post an Everyday Edit) that the good people at Education World post on their website, free for the taking, a yearlong supply of Everyday Edits. If we want students to write well–and I’m hard pressed to imagine why we wouldn’t–they need to learn to copyedit.
Here are two independent practice worksheets on Byzantium. These are basically short reading comprehension worksheets; however, in New York City, and therefore the state, I assume, Byzantium was part of the global studies curriculum at one point, which is why I wrote this; whether that remains the case, I don’t know.
If you find typos in these documents, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
