Teach your students about one of the most tragic events in modern history with this Reading Comprehension Worksheet on the Cambodian Genocide.
This 5-page informational text covers the origins, causes, and consequences of the genocide that took place in Cambodia between 1975 and 1979, during the rule of the Khmer Rouge. It explores the social, political, and economic factors that led to the rise of Pol Pot and his regime, and the brutal methods they used to impose their vision of a communist agrarian society.
To help your students deepen their understanding of the topic, the worksheet includes 19 questions in short answer and multiple-choice format that test their reading comprehension skills. They will also have the opportunity to practice their vocabulary and grammar with a CLOZE activity, where they have to fill in the missing words from the text.
As an optional activity, your students can read the testimony of a survivor of the Cambodian Genocide and analyze how the events affected the individual and their community.
Answer keys are included!
Use this Reading Comprehension Worksheet as part of your social studies or history lessons, or as a standalone activity for your students to work on individually or in groups.
