Canada at War Learning Tools for Remembrance Day

These learning tools explore the themes of commemoration and remembrance as they relate to the First and Second World Wars. Challenge students to reflect on how the past has been commemorated and invite them to use their creative writing and visual art skills to create an original work centered on these themes.

While the contest is closed for this year, the activity is worthwhile and there are lots of great exemplars on their site for inspiration and discussion.
