Teaching Writing - Mother's Day

1. Our purposes and the audiences of writing.

Mother’s Day is coming. Therefore, we are going to learn how to write in English about “Mother” and “Mother’s Day”. During the class time, you may share your writing with classmates and teacher. After the class, you can share your writing worksheets with your family members and give your mother a great gift. For example, you will make “My Mom and I… Book” and “Bouquet in Hand Craft”. It will be the best memory for you and your family.

2. Our five writing tasks about Mother’s Day.

We are going to learn English words about Mother and Mother’s Day. There are five parts to finish our tasks. The first one, we are going to write “10 Mother's Day Words” in alphabetical order. The second one, you need to bring a picture of your mother and we are going to write down the background information about your mother. The third one is "Write Eight Adjectives Describing Your Mother" and sharing your writing with us. The fourth one, we are going to write a mini book about your mother and yourself, therefore you need to draw a picture of you and your mother in each page of the book. The last one is that you need to follow the sequence of pictures to make a great gift for your mother on Mother’s Day.

4. Bouquet in Hand Craft and Sequencing skills
This is a simple paper craft made from handprint, paint or markers, and construction paper. It makes a great gift for Mother's Day.
Mother's Day Crafts

Supplies needed:
• A piece of light-colored construction paper (white, pale blue, pale yellow, or other colors) - for the background
• One piece of skin-colored construction paper - for the hand
• Scissors
• Glue
• Crayons, markers or paint and brushes
• Optional: colorful construction paper for the flowers (or flowers can be drawn with markers)


Trace the child's hand on a piece of skin-colored paper. Cut along the lines.

On a new piece of paper, glue the palm of the hand to the lower left part of the paper -- DO NOT glue the fingers down.

Using green tempera paint, a crayon, or marker, draws the stems of the flowers. Start each stem on the hand, and have it go towards the center of the paper (make sure to leave room for the flowers).

Roll the fingers of the paper hand over the palm and the stems of the flowers, and glue the fingertips onto the palm (this will make the hand look as though it is holding the bouquet of flowers).
If you like, have the hand show the American Sign Language sign for "I love you," which has the only the ring finger and the middle finger folded and glued down.


Draw flowers and leaves on the stems -- or glue on flowers made from colorful construction paper.
You now have a bouquet that is great for Mother's Day.
