For the third Friday of Hispanic Heritage Month, 2017, Mark’s Text Terminal offers a reading on Miguel de Cervantes and its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet.

Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on primogeniture, a concept that almost certainly recurs in most high school social studies classes.

Hispanic Heritage Month begins today, so for the next five Fridays, I’ll post readings and comprehension worksheets in its honor. To kick off the month, here are an Intellectual Devotional reading on Pele, the legendary Brazilian soccer star, and a comprehension worksheet to complement it. This should be relatively high interest material, particularly for kids from Latin America who follow soccer–as so many of the students I serve do.

Now seems like an apt time to post this Cultural Literacy worksheet on the concept of a police state. Republics are in constant danger of lapsing into police states–something to keep in mind.

On a bright, cool morning in Springfield, Vermont, I offer you this Cultural Literacy worksheet on schism. The definition and this worksheet limits the noun to its meaning as a breach within a religion. Merriam-Webster defines it more broadly, so there is some room here for the kind of rich discussion on usage that educational research suggests benefits students.
In any case, by their senior year at the very least, this is a word and concept high school students really ought to know.

Now seems like a perfect time to post a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the right of privacy. Did we retain this right, or did it vanish with social media and other digital platforms (like the very blog you’re reading now!).

Kids who struggle to learn need all the help they can get. I work to incorporate into my teaching practice–I have a category of curriculum I simply call “Focus on Learning Methods”–readings that describe the act of learning. If our struggling students can understand the learning process, then they can begin to understand their own struggles with it. From there, students have a real opportunity to learn how they learn, and begin approaching the demands of school with an understanding of how they can meet them.
So, what use for the special education teacher in this situation? Little to none, I would hope–that’s the point of this. The students is autonomous, and the teacher has done his or her job. A pint of ale and a few episodes of “Family Guy,” anyone?
One of the many projects I have going is a unit on learning on cognition. Needless to say, this Intellectual Devotional reading on learning and the comprehension worksheet that accompanies it would form one of the mainstays of such a unit.

Here, for what I assume are obvious reasons besides a complement to the worksheet on the Greek word root xen/o (foreign) I posted a couple of days ago, is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on xenophobia.
