VHS-258 or DVD-258 LEST WE FORGET - $79.50 Grades 5 to 8

This excellent program will form a major part of your Remembrance Day ceremonies. Designed for grades 5 through 8, many other grade levels will also find this videocassette of interest. The video brings home to students the value of this important day. Through personal association, students learn how Remembrance Day does relate to them in their day to day activities, personal lives and friendships. This program can also be used when studying the topics of war and peace. Canadian content is dominant.

The program first explains why Remembrance Day is important. The role played by Canadians in World War I, World War II and the Korean War is discussed. Statistics include Canadian losses and involvement during all three major conflicts.

The program then points out to students, that these wars all occurred before they or their parents were born, so why should Remembrance Day be important to them? Students are shown that on November 11th they should think of of the words Bravery, Loyalty, Sacrifice, Dedication, Peace and Freedom. The students are given samples from their own lives that reflect on these words. They are then shown how these words relate to the many Canadians who served and those who died.

The program ends by telling students that on November 11th they should wear their poppy, as they now know why Canadians served in these wars - to bring freedom to other citizens of other countries, to bring peace and to try to bring an end to war so that future generations would never have to face the agony and horror of war.

This is a compelling program which, in just 13 minutes of duration, explains the value of this important day to young students.
