Hello everyone,

 

Last lesson, we wrote the poem In Flanders fields and then we explained the vocabulary and the poet's intentions. Then you had to memorise the vocabulary.

 

In Flanders Fields

 

By John McCrae

 

 

 

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.

 

 

Today, we started our poster about the poem. We decided how to interpret the different parts of the poem.
