Description
War of 1812 Color by Number, Reading Passage and Text Marking
This War of 1812 Color by Number and Text Marking activity is the perfect way to bring life to the topic! Students read a non-fiction passage and search for answers while marking evidence from the text. Perfect reading comprehension activity.
Topics include: The War of 1812, Treaty of Ghent, Battle of Lake Erie, Battle of New Orleans, the Star Spangled Banner and impressment.
Students complete a “before reading” anticipation guide, read about the War of 1812, answers questions, mark the text for evidence, color the picture according to their answer, and complete the “after reading” anticipation guide.
This is a great cross curriculum activity that also practices Language Arts skills and citing evidence. You can use this activity to assess prior knowledge. You can use this activity as a unit review. Lastly, you could use the student worksheet as a quiz or formative and then let them color as a reward! You choose what works best for you.
This is a fun, colorful activity that allows students to show mastery while relaxing, learning and coloring in their answers. This is also perfect for emergency sub plans! Hang the finished product in the hall for teachers and students to stop and admire.

I did this as a whole-group activity with my 4th graders. We are working a lot this year on looking back into the text for information, so this resource worked well for reinforcing their reading skills while also learning about the War of 1812. I especially liked the anticipation guide – my students got really excited when they guessed correctly.

I bought a few of these assignments this past spring and plan on buying more next school year! The only thing is that my students didn’t care to do the final coloring activity. I do wish the author offered a version of the worksheet that didn’t refer to the colors needed for the final coloring activity.

My students needed a little extra help with learning about The War of 1812 and this resource really helped. They worked in groups to read and find the answers. I worked with a small group on this if I thought it would be too hard for them to comprehend, independently. Overall, very satisfied.
