  1. Remembrance

  2. 1. Red Poppy = War as Noble Sacrifice Soldiers die to secure our freedom We should be prepared to follow their brave example Money raised should be used to support injured soldiers and their families The White Poppy fundraising campaign is disrespectful: it leaves soldiers short of support and suggests the sacrifice of our brave soldiers is pointlessly stupid. 2. White Poppy = War as Senseless Waste Soldiers die for greedy governments We should ensure it never happens again Money raised should be used to promote international understanding The Red Poppy fundraising campaign is disrespectful: it turns soldiers into objects of charity and bullies us into accepting that “our” soldiers are always “right”. White or Red? 4. Would you wear NEITHER, or does this show you’re shallow? 3. Would you wear BOTH or do they contradict each other?

  3. Now choose your group • Red = Mr. Palmer • White = Mr. Fretwell • Both = Mr. Stenson • Neither = Mr. Hunt

  4. Where would he stand? In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. - John McRae
