Research Organizer & Essay Assignment: John Coltrane Guide students to research saxophone legend John Coltrane with this complete 5-paragraph essay project. Students first gather facts and sources on a worksheet, learning background on Coltrane's life and music. Next, they use an outline to draft their essay, detailing Coltrane's early life, musical career, legacy, and why he was so influential. Peer review and revision steps teach the writing process. Finally, students submit their work for a grade based on the included rubric. Use the full project for an in-depth lesson or just the research worksheet for a shorter activity. This resource works well for grades 8-11 language arts or music appreciation classes. The scaffolded materials make research and essay writing approachable for students while aligning to ELA writing standards.
