Your assignments for this week will be located on this wiki page. Each of these assignments will celebrate and fondly remember all that our Canadian soldiers did for us in the past and continue to do for us now.

__**Assignment 1**__ Postcards for Peace

This assignment is an opportunity for us to express thanks to those who served Canada in times of conflict and peace, and/or those presently serving our country.

Instructions 1. The postcard will be created on an index card that I will provide. The lined side of the card will be where you write your message. The clear side will be where you design your thank you. This should reprsent what Remembrance Day means to you and your family. This could be words, pictures, symbols, etc. Please be tasteful, colourful and creative.

2. In your notebooks, write your message of thanks. This will be your __rough copy__. You will write such things as: thank you for keeping Canada safe, thank you for your sacrifices, I will be wearing a poppy to show my remembrance, I will be going to a Remembrance Day seremony, etc. Be brief and thoughtful.

3. Your good copy should be well-written. You will have already checked your spelling and punctuation. The design side of your postcard will be neat, tasteful and appropriate.

4. Here is an example of what you may see on the back of the postcard:

//Dear Canadian Service Veteran,//

//I would like to thank you for your service to our wonderful country. Your sacrifices are appreciated and will always be remembered.//

//I will be wearing a poppy at our school Remembrance Day service and I will also be wearing it on Friday when I attend the Remembrance Day service at the cenotaph in downtown Fredericton.//

//Thank you for everything.//

//Rob Miller//

5. Finished early? Do you know your parents, grandparents or guardians e-mail address? If so, you could send them an e-card inviting them to attend the Remembrance Day service with you on Nov. 11th. To do this, go to the Postcards for Peace...E-cards page to send your e-card. You will use your FIRST NAME ONLY and your school e-mail address. Your message will include your invite to attend the services on the 11th.
