Since the idea of success is something schools now flog, albeit in a vapid and decontextualized sense, we should not be surprised to learn that when we talk, in our social studies classes, about successors–to thrones, offices, and the like–our students understand this as someone who has experienced success, rather than someone who has succeeded in the sense of following someone else in a position of power or authority.
This week’s Text, in an attempt to clear up this misconception, is three context clues worksheets on succession, successor, and successive, which are, respectively, a noun, a noun, and an adjective.
That’s it: I hope you find these useful.

Here’s a worksheet on the Greek word root agog, which you will know doubt recognize as the basis of the word pedagogue. It means leader and to lead. With another Greek root, ped/o (child), you can see how pedagogue means, literally, “leader of children,” i.e., teacher.
Unlike the longer word root exercises on this site, this is a short exercise meant to open a class session before continuing on to a period-length lesson.

Although Will Ferrell famously mangled it in “Anchorman,” your students needn’t, especially if you guide them through this Cultural Literacy Worksheet on the expression “When in Rome (do as the Romans do).” I’ve tagged this as an idiomatic expression. It apparently originated with Saint Augustine, who related it as advice to a traveler to Rome for the first time.
