This is a great worksheet that gives middle and high school students a chance to practice paraphrasing and analyzing three of Benjamin Franklinīs famous Aphorisms from Poor Richardīs Almanack. I model paraphrasing the first Aphorism on the overhead, and then let students loose to choose three others that "speak to them." This activity took up a whole 48 minute class period. Enjoy!
