  7. Mozart Mad Lib Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a very famous composer. He lived about the time that George Washington was our country’s president. At the age of 10 he proved to be a better musician than most adult professional musicians. Mozart’s sister, Nannerl, was also a good musician and was very good at playing the harpsichord. Their father, Leopold, taught his two children how to play music. The children were so good that their father took them on trips all over Europe to play for kings and queens. Everyone was amazed at how well little Wolfgang could play the harpsichord. Sometimes Mozart’s sister would sing. Mozart became known as the Wonder boy. But Wolfgang and nannerl had to work hard. The children had little time to play or meet new friends. They were too busy practicing or traveling. Wolfgang had a cat and a canary for pets. He missed them when he would go on long concert tours. Even though he wrote a lot of music for kings and queens, he eventually died very poor and was buried in a pauper’s grave. He was only 36 when he died.

  8. Wolfgang Amadeus MozartTeacher’s Page The Mozart Mad Lib can be done in one day. First have the students individually write down their answers to the categories. Then as a class go through the Mad Lib with students filling in the blanks aurally with their answers. They will get a big kick out of the funny story it tells. On yet another day, you could have students write the story with all of their answers filling in the blanks. After doing the story as a class, read the real story with the correct answers about Mozart’s life. Mozart’s Life and Music biography (a separate listing under MAP attack) pages can be read aloud together as a class on a different day. Then use the questions to provoke thought and discussion about Mozart’s life. On another day, after more discussion about Mozart, the questions can be used individually as an assessment tool. Clips of Mozart’s music (from external sources) can be listened to after reading about Mozart and his music.
