Here is a context clues worksheet on the verb annotate, which is used both intransitively and transitively. I worked in a school in which students were regularly assigned annotation work without understanding what this act is.
Needless to say, it never went well.

This worksheet on the Greek word root pseud/o seems to me de rigeur for the high school classroom. It is a very productive root which means, of course, false. This root is easily appended to many nouns, which makes it possible for us to call someone like the presidential advisor “Dr.” Sebastian Gorka a pseudointellectual.

Several years ago, a couple of my colleagues analyzed the results of the New York State Regents Exam in Global Studies. They wanted to understand why an entire cohort of juniors missed the same question on Neville Chamberlain, et al, and the Munich Pact. They didn’t need to look far at all: students reported that they didn’t understand the word appeasement.
Here then is a context clues worksheet on the verb appease, which is only used transitively. The sheet itself would be relatively simple to change to appeasement, if you prefer to teach the noun.

You might find this context clues worksheet on the noun kaiser useful, especially if you’re teaching a global studies class that addresses German politics in the second half of the nineteenth century, and, of course, World War I. Please do remember that this is a derivation of the Latin cognomen Caesar, appended to Augustus, Rome’s first emperor. Assisting students in taking that knowledge a step further you can demonstrate to students how far this word traveled by pointing out that the Russian emperor’s title Czar also derives from Caesar.

Here is a worksheet on the Greek word roots dont and odont/o. If you’ve ever worn braces or needed treatment for gum disease (i.e. with an orthodontist or periodontist), you will recognize right away that this productive root means both tooth and teeth.

Here is a context clues worksheet on the verb assimilate that you might find handy in teaching social studies. It’s used both transitively and intransitively. Beware, however (and you may want to consult Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary on this), when you use it transitively, with the prepositions to, into, and with, you will need to use caution as meaning can shift in those constructions.

Since I’ve long thought he could receive focus in English Language Arts or social studies courses (I’ve tagged this post as both), if you teacher either subject, you might find this Cultural Literacy worksheet on Johannes Gutenberg useful.

As I’ve mentioned, probably ad nauseam at this point, I work in an economics and finance-themed high school in the financial district in Lower Manhattan. Wherever you work, however, if you teach high school social studies, or anything to do with early theories of capitalism, especially anything on Adam Smith, then you may well find this Cultural Literacy worksheet on the invisible hand useful.
