Instructional Ideas

  • Include in a unit about the Roman Empire, or when discussing the Punic Wars in social studies
  • Have learners conduct additional research to support or oppose the information in the reading passage
  • Create an essay or journal prompt in which class members discuss the value of honesty 

Classroom Considerations

  • Questions do not address the most important parts of the passage; consider adding your own

Pros

  • Two-page format makes the worksheet a convenient double-sided resource
  • Helpful for both English learners and mainstream classes

Cons

  • Contains a few grammatical errors
