Worksheets

These worksheets accompany Khamseen’s Topic, Term, and Concept presentations. Each worksheet asks students to recall what they’ve learned in the video as well as to apply what they’ve learned to other materials and contexts. They can be adopted (and adapted) in the classroom, provided as take-home assignments, or used as memory-enhancing exercises by lifelong learners.
