Anzac Day, Armistice Day, Remembrance Day – Poetry in a Pocket

A creative way to present some poetry on war remembrance days such as:
♦ Anzac Day
♦ Remembrance Day
♦ Armistice Day
♦ Memorial Day
♦ Veterans Day

Write the acrostic poem in the square and then cut it out. Fold the pocket template and glue the poem in centre, under the flaps.

Template Options:
♦ Acrostic Poem – 8 templates to choose from (see list below).
♦ Ode of Remembrance – this is not a writing activity, it is just a copy of the poem that students can glue in and learn.
♦ ‘Thank you for …’ – write a list of things you appreciate about the men/women who serve in the military.
♦ Blank – decide on your own writing (or drawing) activity.

The Acrostic Poem Templates:
MILITARY
SOLDIER
WAR VETERAN
WAR
REMEMBER
ANZAC DAY
ANZAC COVE
GALLIPOLI

Approximate size (once folded): 9cm x 8.5cm.

Two Paper Sizes:
♦ A4 paper size
♦ Letter paper size

Please note that with the letter size paper, the pocket template is on one piece of paper and the square that gets glued in the middle is on another piece of paper (4 squares per sheet).
