Today we will be doing a listening and viewing activity to help us prepare for our upcoming mini unit on Remembrance Day. We will spend some time this week and next writing poems to honour the people and places affected by war. Let's start by watching a video to get us thinking.
1. Who is giving the speech?
2. Where does the speech take place?
3. Approximately how many Canadians fought in WWII?
4. How many Canadians were killed in action?
5. How many soldiers were wounded?
6. What does the General get the audience to repeat?
Why do you think it is important that young people pay tribute and remember those who gave their lives for the freedom of others? Clearly explain your thinking (minimum 3-5 sentences).
