The Learning Activities: Sequence
2 lessons 1
hour each
Minds On:
Activate Prior Knowledge
Students will explain what a syllable is.
What are the syllables in the word Syllable, Classroom, etc.
Ask students if they have heard of a Haiku before.
What is a Haiku?
A three-line poem based on a Japanese poetic form
The traditional pattern is to write the first line with 5 syllables, the second
with 7 syllables, and the third with 5 syllables (5-7-5 pattern)
Haiku poems can be about anything, but the most common are about nature
Haiku poems express our thoughts, feelings, or moods
The last line is usually an observation- point out something about the topic
we are writing about
A haiku to help them remember:
I am first with five
Then seven in the middle
Five again to end
Students will count the syllables in this haiku, and say it again to help them
remember the haiku format
Action:
Modelling a Haiku
Tell students that the haiku poems we will write about will be on the topic of Peace.
Because haikus are traditionally about expressing our feelings, we will write about
what our thoughts and feelings are about peace.
Model a haiku poem on peace, have students count the syllables in each line. What
else do they notice?
Lesson 2: Independent Practice
Steps to create haiku:
First, get a picture in your mind on what you think about when you hear the
word peace
Brainstorm and write down what you see using 5-10 words
Then, try to write 5-7-5 lines
Try to make the last line about an observation, or opinion about the topic
Double-check the syllable patterns needed for a haiku
Students will follow each step above and create their haikus on peace. They will
create a rough draft that will be edited before making a final copy using the dove
template. Students will draw a few images and colour to match their poems.
Consolidation:
Student volunteers can share their haiku poems with the class. Students may also
share any wonderings about haiku poems.
Return to the success criteria for the day to check for understanding and completion.
