Silent Night | Informational Text

$1.50

In this informational text lesson, students will learn about Christmas carol, Silent Night, which is one of the world’s most well-known Christmas songs. Written in 1816 by an Austrian priest named Father Josef Mohr, it has since been translated into more than 140 different languages and was even sung as part of the ‘Christmas Truce’ during World War I in 1914. Historic facts like these are included in this informational text.

After students read the text, they will:
1. Complete a short comprehension worksheet.
2. Write an opinion essay (choosing to write their opinion that answers one of two given questions).
