Description:
Honor Labor Day with a hands-on timeline project that helps students trace the history of labor movements, reforms, and worker contributions. This activity blends chronological reasoning with civic reflection.

• Elementary: Place simplified event cards in order (e.g., 1882 Labor Day Parade, 1894 Congress establishes the holiday).
• Middle: Build detailed timelines with events like the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire and the Fair Labor Standards Act.
• High School: Research and present advanced digital or poster timelines (using free tools like TimelineJS) on events such as the Pullman Strike or AFL–CIO formation.

This resource includes:

• K–12 TEKS alignment for history and citizenship.
• Timeline Template organizer (date, event, significance/impact).
• Clear teacher instructions for scaffolding across levels.
• A 100-point rubric for content knowledge, evidence use, participation, and reflection.
• Sample student work (e.g., elementary reflections on “My favorite worker is a nurse…” or high school analysis of modern labor rights).
• Real-world connections tying historic labor reforms to ongoing debates about fair wages and working conditions.
