Michael Jackson Reading Comprehension and Craft
Are you looking for a fun, no-prep way to engage your students in reading and writing? This Michael Jackson activity resource does just that. It links music, literacy and art in a way that kids in Grades 2 to 4 will love.
What Is in the Resource?
This resource has four ready-to-use activities that you can print and go. Here is what you get:
A Non-Fiction Reading Comprehension Passage
Students read a short passage about the life of Michael Jackson. They learn about his childhood, his famous album Thriller, his incredible dance moves, and his legacy. Ten comprehension questions go with the passage, and a full answer key makes marking quick and easy for you.
A Song Word Search
This fun word search uses the names of Michael Jackson songs. It is a great way to build word recognition skills and keep early finishers busy. Students love spotting the names of songs they may already know.
A Fun Film Review
This simple review gives students a chance score the acting, singing and dancing in the film in a fun and meaningful way.
A Michael Jackson Glove Craft
Every child knows the famous sparkly glove! This easy craft activity lets students make their own version. It is a wonderful way to end the unit and makes a great classroom display too.
Who Is This Resource For?
This bundle suits ELA, ESL and EAL teachers who want a low-prep, high-engagement resource. It also works brilliantly for home-school families who want to mix literacy with a topic their child finds exciting. You can use it for a full lesson, a fun Friday activity, sub plans, or early finishers.
Why Michael Jackson?
Michael Jackson is one of the most well-known names in music history. Even young children often recognise his songs. That makes him a brilliant hook for reluctant readers and writers. When students connect with a topic, they try harder and enjoy the process more.
