A rich lesson that opens with a viral video about "the world's most demanding job" before diving into the real history of Mother's Day — Anna Jarvis's story, how it became a national holiday, and Canadian traditions like wearing carnations. Students learn higher-level vocabulary (stamina, immeasurable, pro bono), practice detailed listening comprehension, and finish with personal reflection prompts about their own family traditions.
