Teach your students the real story of Labor Day with this ready-to-use 90-minute lesson plan. This resource saves you time and gives your class an engaging way to learn about history, workers’ rights, and traditions.
The lesson starts with warm-up questions to spark curiosity. Students learn key vocabulary like union, strike, and protest. They watch a short video and follow along with the transcript. Then, you guide them through a clear timeline of events, from Canada’s first marches to the Pullman Strike and the creation of the U.S. holiday.
The student worksheet is full of activities: timeline ordering, vocabulary matching, true or false, short answers, and a creative poster task. An answer key is included, so checking is quick and easy.
This lesson works well for middle or high school students. It builds listening, reading, and critical thinking skills while keeping learners active and motivated.
Bring history to life this Labor Day. Your students will enjoy learning, and you will enjoy teaching.
