Jackson 5 Lesson Plan

The Jackson family grew up poor in Gary, Indiana. There were 9 kids, plus a

mom and dad living in a one-room house. The dad noticed that his kids

were very talented, so he taught them dance moves and how to sing and

play guitar. Five of the boys formed The Jackson 5, and they earned enough

money to move into a mansion in Los Angeles, California. But the brothers

were not going to be The Jacksons forever. Soon, some of the siblings,

including their baby sister, would became the most popular performers ever.
