About This Product
I developed this High School The History of Mother’s Day Reading Passage unit specifically to move beyond the surface-level crafts and card-making usually associated with the holiday in younger grades. My goal was to create a resource that challenges secondary students to analyze history through a critical lens while remaining completely prepared for busy homeschool parents. This High School The History of Mother’s Day Reading Passage unit explores the complex, and sometimes heartbreaking, history of how a day of peace and social activism became a commercial giant. It is designed to be comprehensive enough for a high school history or ELA credit while remaining engaging enough to spark a real, deep-level dinner table discussion.
INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE:
A detailed reading passage: tracks the holiday from ancient rituals to modern controversies.
20 detailed questions: requiring critical thinking to answer in paragraph-length responses.
10 note-taking sheets: designed to help teens organize their thoughts.
A full key with model answers: to save you time on grading and research.
TOPICS COVERED:
How Greek and Roman mother-goddess traditions influenced early culture.
The shift from 17th-century religious pilgrimages to secular family reunions.
The inspiring history of Ann and Anna Jarvis’s social activism and peace work.
Why the holiday's founder eventually tried to have her own creation abolished.
I designed this High School History of Mother’s Day Reading Passage to take the entire weight of planning and research off your shoulders, so you can focus on the connection rather than the prep. While it is truly "open-and-go" for you, it ensures your student/homeschooler is doing the intellectual heavy lifting—whether you are using it for a history block, a social studies elective, or an ELA supplement. Thank you for letting me be a small part of your homeschooling journey and for trusting me to help you make high school history feel truly alive.
If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resource, please let a review.
Thank you for your support!
