The second Sunday of November is, every year, a day of reflection, when people of all ages wear a poppy with pride.
Our online Encyclopaedia Britannica has a brilliant Britannica Spotlight on Poppy Day page, which is perfect for helping you (or someone you know) with Remembrance Sunday homework: useful articles and information as well as activities and fun.
There is also a Poppy Day article for older students, with a handy double-click on any word to get an instant dictionary definition tool: it also allows you to select different reading levels, and search for and highlight specific words.
Check out our Encyclopaedia Britannica page, where you can find links to Britannica Junior, Student and Adult.
