Remembrance Day Activities
Remembrance Day - Descriptive Writing
This week we are studying Veterans Week - November 5-11th. It is over 100 years since the famous poem - In Flanders Fields - was written by John McCrae. We will be looking at the poem and doing some descriptive writing. We will also be participating in the art/poetry and writing contest, put on by the Royal Canadian Legion. Many of you have already started brainstorming and coming up with amazing ideas. I can't wait to see your work! You can draw a picture, write a poem, an essay or a descriptive paragraph.
We will also read a poem - Prayer for the 21st Century and complete choral reading activities.
Prayer for the 21st Century by John Marsden
We have been studying descriptive writing. Write a paragraph using imagery to describe a photo. Here are a couple of pictures you could use - or pick your own, or use your own artwork. Remember that the theme is REMEMBRANCE.
