Title: Honoring Moms All Over the World on Mother’s Day
This academic Close Reading packet on Mother’s Day is meant to honor mothers and learn more about the meaning of this special day. It can be used in homes and schools in the weeks before Mother’s Day, which is marked in many countries around the world in May. The packet’s main part is stories of motherly love, the history of Mother’s Day, practices and customs connected to the holiday, and tasks that make students think about the role of mothers in society. Poetry, writings, and personal stories that show how moms affect people and communities will be read and discussed by the students.
