Remembrance Day Ceremonies

The nature of a Remembrance Day will vary from one school to the next.

Whatever the format, active participation by students is essential and teachers should encourage students not only to organize the ceremony, but also to create their own materials.

The following scenarios suggest ways to organize a ceremony, which teachers and students are encouraged to modify to suit their needs.
