About this resource

What's inside this resource

An informational page defines what a barber and hair stylist do — cutting, washing, and styling hair, plus trimming beards and mustaches — before a Reading Response page has students circle, box, and underline details from that same passage and answer two open questions about barbershop etiquette and the difference between the two jobs. A rhyming “Barbershop Rules” poem is followed by two personal-response worksheets, “Haircut Writing” and “Haircut Questions,” asking students to reflect on their own haircut habits and experiences. “Hair Stylist Words” fills ten blanks from a ten-word bank covering tools and terms, a “Hair Salon Senses” page prompts five-senses descriptive writing, and a six-line acrostic poem spells BARBER. A 14-word word search, a first-person narrative about getting a haircut, a number-cipher puzzle that reveals a hidden saying, a 16-term hairstyle list, a cut-and-paste pattern page, a coloring page, a maze, and a mock “Hair Stylist Application” round out the set.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

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 short narratives connected to a real-world career topic.
Students practice descriptive writing organized around the five senses.
Students complete a structured acrostic poem using letter-initial constraints.

Teaching tips

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.
Save the "Hair Stylist Application" for last as a culminating task, since it draws on vocabulary and ideas introduced throughout the earlier pages.
