After researching Haikus, it was time to have the students write one of their very own. We took the students on an autumn walk and told them to use all their senses while we walked. Listen to the crunching leaves. Feel the wind and the crisp air. Look at the red, yellow, orange, pine, and barren trees. We then filled out a brainstorming sheet, using all our senses. The next day was a rather loud writing time as students clapped out syllables, helped their friends count syllables, and held up fingers as they composed their Haiku poems. There was great excitement as students wrote a line with just the right amount of syllables. It is kind of like a puzzle, moving words around and changing them to get the right amount of syllables. Our next step is publishing them for our classroom book that we are getting bound. You will be able to purchase one for home, too!
