Poetry project of Remembrance at South Hill Mall
Grade Nine students from Carlton Comprehensive School have a display at the South Hill Mall that combines some word skills with an important message for Canadians.
Mackenzie Reeder, age 14, said she enjoyed doing a black-out poetry project and the fact that it has meaning.
“We had to circle 10 words of a poem and we had to make our own poem out of those 10 words, and then you had to draw something out of Remembrance Day. A lot of people did a cross, and then a poppy, and then a soldier’s hat,” she said.
Those were combined to make a unique Remembrance Poem, all of which are displayed along the walls of the mall across from Service Canada.
