Critical Thinking Worksheet
Name
I.
Determine the speaker for each of the following paragraphs.
1. I recently had a TV show for three seasons where I was trying to find true love.
When I was younger, I was one of the biggest hype men in the business. I lost it
due to drugs and jail time. After getting my life together, I got married and have
plenty of children. Who am I?
2. Most people know me for one concept I discovered, which is part of a large,
complex theory I developed. I am renowned in my field and have received the
ultimate prize for my work. My influence indirectly led to the death of thousands
of people. Many find my hair style amusing. Who am I?
3. I’m known for my sweet tooth and though I might be terrifying in reality, I’m
popular among children. My owner wrote stories about me which would
eventually find their way on screen. I’m usually half naked. Who am I?
4. I was the Republic’s greatest chance of balancing the universe, except that I
messed up, fell in love, and got angry and afraid. I fell prey to a dark and
powerful man and was manipulated. Now I have a scary name and suit not to
mention odd breathe. Who am I?
5. I became one of the most powerful men in the world. I am still well known, but
instead of being famous for my brief but controversial stay in office, I am better
known for what I’ve done to help the poor and underprivileged afterward. I am
on true humanitarian. Who am I?
6. I’m not a puppet. I’m not made out of wood. Disney didn’t make a movie about
my life. My nose isn’t growing longer because I’m lying. Who am I?
II.
Write three similar “Who am I?” riddles on the back. They must be well
known fictional or non-fictional people or figures.
