Thusday 05/11 Writing - Haiku

Purpose:  I can write haiku about people, places, things, and ideas.
  1. Whole Group: Haiku Interactive
  2. Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry.  Traditional haiku are about nature--but can be about any topic--and have a very specific syllable structure.  The first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and the last line has 5 syllables.
  3. Independent Writing Time:
    • Write haiku following the traditional structure.
    • Continue writing acrostic poems about people, places, things, and ideas you know well.
    • Continue writing poems about things that move or make noise.
    • Continue writing unique poems about ordinary things.
    • Continue using sensory words to describe weather.
    • Continue personifying objects.
    • Continue to write words and images for months of the year.
    • Use sensory details to describe any other topic.
