I’m hard pressed to find a better day than today–election day–to post this context clues worksheet on the noun buffoon. This is a relatively commonly used noun in English, and certainly should be part of the inventory of anyone interested in talking about politicians and their ilk.

On Election Day, 2018 it is a rainy day in Springfield, Massachusetts. Don’t let that prevent you from getting to your polling place! This is one of the most consequential elections cycles in my life time. I’m an old guy now, so you know that’s really saying something.
Today seems like as good a time as any (I’d actually been saving these for a Black History Month post) to post this reading on the 13th, 14th and 15th. Amendments and its accompanying comprehension worksheet. Also, this Everyday Edit on the Voting Rights Act is an timely document to post this morning, especially in light of the attempts around the country to suppress universal suffrage. Incidentally, if you like that Everyday Edit exercise, I’ll remind you once again that the good people at Education World give away a year’s supply of them at no cost to you.

One last thing this afternoon, to wit a worksheet on the Greek roots gnos, gnom, and gnomon. They mean knowledge, and they show up in words like diagnosis and prognosis, which makes this another one of those roots to produce a lot of words in the health professions.

Here’s a series of five homophone worksheets on the noun role, the noun roll, and the verb, used both transitively and intransitively, roll. In general, and only this conclusion requires only scant thought, roll as these two parts of speech is a very busy polysemous word.

This year, for the first time, I am teaching English Language Arts to a group of high school seniors. Not to put too fine a point on it, but it has been one hell of a good time. I have all but no experience teaching upperclassmen, as my practice tends to focus on building academic literacy and skills in freshmen so that they may make it to the senior class.
At my school, the school I am incidentally four working days from departing, the Class of 2019 shows great promise. Three years ago these children arrived, and now have become extraordinary young adults, ready to go forth and contribute to the dignity and freedom of humanity.
The two classes I teach have assented to word root worksheets on Friday, which has been a routine of my classroom practice for several years. This morning I post this master list of Greek and Latin Word roots so that it is easily searchable for this group of kids–or anyone else that wants or needs it.
