http://www.warmemorialsnsw.asn.au/poppies.cfm
Poppies for Remembrance 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 amidst 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. The red poppy has been part of Remembrance Day services since the early 1920's, and is now worn on other commemorative occasions, including ANZAC Day. During the First World War the battlefields were literally churned by high explosive shells, creating a surreal landscape of mud, entangled barbed wire and water filled craters. When given a brief chance to recover, and especially after the 1918 Armistice, the first flowers to bloom were the red poppies. In 1915, Canadian Brigade Surgeon, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae (1872-1918), was so moved by the sight of the fields of poppies stretching across the Ypres battlefield that he put pen to paper and wrote his moving poem, "In Flanders Fields."

This poignant booklet includes the famous WWI poem, "In Flander's Field", written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) of the Canadian Army, as well as a poem, "America's Answer", written by R. W. Lillard. At the end of this description, I include the text of the two poems. McCrae's poem is a compelling tribute to the men who fell during the fierce battle in the Ypres during the spring of 1915. Major McCrae had been a surgeon during the South African War and was later attached to the 1st Field Artillery Brigade in the Ypres salient. The seventeen days of the battle were so heartrending and intense that McCrae later wrote, "I wish I could embody on paper some of the varied sensations of that seventeen days... Seventeen days of Hades! At the end of the first day if anyone had told us we had to spend seventeen days there, we would have folded our hands and said it could not have been done." Major McCrae was especially affected by the death of a friend and former student at McGill University, Lieut. Alexis Helmer of Ottawa who was buried in the small cemetery near McCrae's treatment facility. McCrae performed the funeral ceremony.

Roster Of Physician Writers We are surprised if the doctor, by stealing some hours from his daily avocations, attains even moderate eminence in the path of literature. Edward Berdoe The following list includes the names, life-dates, and nationalities of all the physician writers of whom I am aware, drawn from a variety of resources . To be included, an individual must be a physician (Doctor of Medicine or of Osteopathy in the United States, or similarly certified or accepted in countries other than the United States, or in previous eras), and must have published (not just self-published) at least one book (not just a chap book) of a "creative" nature - fiction, poetry, drama, essay. Pseudonyms are italicized , preceded or followed by real names. Each name is linked to a section of brief and informal biographical (emphasizing medical training and work) and bibliographical (including reference to background sources as well as selected works) information, but no literary criticism. The total number of authors included is of course but a fraction of all physician writers, and, in addition to encouraging interest in this neglected aspect of the literature and medicine, or medical humanities, field, one reason for publishing this list is to invite suggestions for additions to it.

    In Flanders fields by John McCrae 1872 - 1918 Posted by jim clark london england on December 22, 2004, 5:42 pm
    Canadian poet John McCrae (1872 - 1918) was a medical officer in both the Boer War and World War I. A year into the latter war he published in Punch magazine, on December 8, 1915, the sole work by which he would be remembered. This sonnet commemorates the deaths of thousands of young men who died in Flanders during the grueling battles there. It created a great sensation, and was used widely as a recruiting tool, inspiring other young men to join the Army. Legend has it that he was inspired by seeing the blood-red poppies blooming in the fields where many friends had died. In 1918 McCrae died at the age of 40, in the way most men died during that war, not from a bullet or bomb, but from disease: pneumonia, in his case.

Written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD on May 3, 1915 McCrae's "In Flanders Fields" remains to this day one of the most memorable war poems ever written. It is a lasting legacy of the terrible battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915. Here is the story of the making of that poem: Although he had been a doctor for years and had served in the South African War, it was impossible to get used to the suffering, the screams, and the blood here, and Major John McCrae had seen and heard enough in his dressing station to last him a lifetime.

In Flanders Fields
by John McCrae (1872 - 1918) 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 your to hold it high, If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders' fields John McCrae was a doctor serving in the Canadian Armed Forces. He was so deeply moved by what's happening in France, in 1915, he scribbled a little poem in his pocket-book. That poem was In Flanders Fields. The war ironically ended on the eleventh day, of the eleventh hour, and on the eleventh month. So, that's why ever November 11th, we have a moment of silence, and we wear poppies. To remember those who fought for us in the first World War. [ handwritten copy bio Search Google PHP.net

97. Remembrance Day
Fields by the Canadian physician and poet John McCrae (1872 1918). John McCrae John McCrae enlisted in 1914 in the Canadian Expeditionary Force
http://www.househuntingintoronto.com/poppies.htm
var TlxPgNm='poppies'; POPPIES Remembrance Day , honouring the war dead, is a legal holiday observed throughout Canada on November 11. It commemorates the armistice that ended Word War I at 11:00 AM of that day in 1918. The symbol of this day, also called Poppy Day, is the poppy of Flanders. The origin for the poppy-symbol is the poem " In Flanders Fields " by the Canadian physician and poet John McCrae (1872 - 1918).
In Flanders fields
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 McCrae enlisted in 1914 in the Canadian Expeditionary Force as a medical officer. He died at Boulogne at the hospital of which he was in charge in 1918. Before he died, John McCrae had the satisfaction of knowing that his poem had been a success. Soon after its publication in "Punch" in 1915, it became the most popular poem on the First World War. In Flanders Fields was translated into many languages and used on billboards advertising the sale of the first Victory Loan Bonds in Canada in 1917. A book of the same title was published posthumously in 1919. In part because of the poem's popularity, the poppy was adopted as the Flower of Remembrance for the war dead of Britain, France, the United States, Canada and other Commonwealth countries.

98. ELAINE'S REMEMBRANCE DAY POEM PAGE
The red Flanders’ poppy was first described as a flower of remembrance by ColonelJohn McCrae (18721918), who was Professor of Medicine at McGill
http://homepages.tesco.net/~derek.berger/holidays/remembrance.html
November is poppy month , the time of the year when by the wearing of a simple emblem, a red poppy, we salute the memory of those who sacrificed their health, their strength, even their lives, that we might live in a free country. Long known as the corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas) because it flourishes as a weed in grain fields, the Flanders poppy as it is now usually called, grew profusely in the trenches and craters of the war zone. Artillery shells and shrapnel stirred up the earth and exposed the seeds to the light they needed to germinate. Today the poppy is worn on Remembrance Day, the 11th of November. At 11 o’clock on that day, everyone is asked to be silent for just one minute. The silence is a chance to remember all those who have died in wars and to be glad that we are not at war today. 11th November 1919
The First Two Minute Silence in London:
The first stroke of eleven produced a magical effect. The tram cars glided into stillness, motors ceased to cough and fume, and stopped dead, and the mighty-limbed dray horses hunched back upon their loads and stopped also, seeming to do it of their own volition. Someone took off his hat, and with a nervous hesitancy the rest of the men bowed their heads also. Here and there an old soldier could be detected slipping unconsciously into the posture of 'attention'. An elderly woman, not far away, wiped her eyes, and the man beside her looked white and stern. Everyone stood very still ... The hush deepened. It had spread over the whole city and become so pronounced as to impress one with a sense of audibility. It was a silence which was almost pain ... And the spirit of memory brooded over it all.

Here are a few points about the above three basic presentation approaches. 1. - this is the teacher giving a straight explanation with the
All of these approaches could well start with a text, a listening or reading text, so a context is established. This is more preferable to just picking the language out of thin air.
