3.  Take an AR quiz

 

4.  Create a Haiku about your seashell art.

 

WHAT IS A HAIKU?

A haiku is an unrhymed three-line poem. It is based on a traditional Japanese poetic form. Though there are different ways to write haiku, the traditional pattern in English is to write the first and last lines with five syllables each, and the middle line with seven syllables. In other words, the pattern of syllables looks like this:

Line 1: 5 syllables
Line 2: 7 syllables
Line 3: 5 syllables

Here’s another way to visualize the same thing:

1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
1 2 3 4 5

 

 

To begin writing your haiku poems, just follow these steps:

1. Think about your seashell.  Look carefully at it.  Think of what the real one felt/looked like. 
2. Think about what is different about your third line. The last line of a haiku usually makes an observation. That is, the third line points out something about the subject you are writing about. What observation do you want to make?
3. Start writing on a new doc, titled "Seashell Haiku".
4. Don’t forget to count the syllables as you read to make sure you’ve got the right pattern.
5. Finally, “center” your poem on the page like haikus usually are.

 

Remember, we will be pasting your Haiku to the seashell art.

 

Put your name and 4th grade at the end.  :)

 

You are going to go back to your email, from me, with a form titled Haiku turn in.

You will need to copy the link of your page, and paste it in the form line on my email.

That is how you turn it in.

 

Now you can go to the typing practice link.
