Haiku, a beautiful non-rhyming form of Japanese nature poetry, is not hard to learn but takes a lifetime to master.
Class experience
US Grade 4 - 7
Haiku is a beautiful poetic form, traditional to Japanese writing. In this class, students will first listen to and examine examples of Japanese Haiku. Next, we will discuss the attributes and form of both traditional Japanese Haiku and modernized American forms of the poetry. After the discussion, students will collaboratively write a Haiku, with guidance from the teacher. After the group exercise, each student will write a verse of their own. The class will listen to one another's verses...
Students will become familiar with this formal poetic form and be able to identify it's unique characteristics. Students will practice writing Haiku. Students will discuss peer work.
As a teacher, teaching writing skills, is something I have especially enjoyed. I love to write in my spare time, especially letters and poetry. I believe that writing helps us to create the world we envision and the person we are. Teaching children to write from their soul is essential. Writing is how we look into ourselves. Writing poetry is a practice that can bring joy into the lives of others, as well.
