Barber & Hair Stylist – Career Activity Packet

Students identify key details from an informational text about barbers and hair stylists (main topic, tools, and duties).

Students use context and a word bank to complete grade-appropriate, domain-specific vocabulary sentences about hair care.

Students write personal reflections and responses connected to a real-world career topic.

Pair the informational page (page 2) with the Reading Response page (page 3) in the same sitting, since the response task directly marks up details from that passage.

Use the "Hair Stylist Words" word bank page before the word search, since several of the same terms (barber, mirror, scissors, appointment) reappear as word-search answers.

Assign the coloring page, maze, and pattern-completion page as a lower-elementary subset and the open-ended writing pages (Haircut Writing, Hair Salon Senses, the acrostic poem) for upper-elementary students, since the packet's task types range from simple to open-ended.

Informational text comprehension — students mark up and answer questions about key details in a nonfiction passage on barbers and hair stylists.

Domain-specific vocabulary — students complete fill-in-the-blank sentences and a word search using terms like appointment, trim, bangs, and scissors.

Personal and descriptive writing — students respond to reflection questions and write a five-senses description of a hair salon.
