A well-rounded reading and vocabulary lesson that walks students through the story of Anna Jarvis, the symbolism behind flowers and carnations, and — as a nice bonus — how Mother's Day looks different across Canada, from Quebec bakeries to BC spa days to Atlantic Canada seafood breakfasts. Students sort vocabulary into Actions/Feelings/Things, answer multiple-choice comprehension questions, and end with a speaking task about their own childhood memories of the day.
