Nick will demonstrate how he wrote his Haiku poem.
He will do this using the projector or gather the
class to the back of the class. His first poem will be
of a decision he has had to make. He will then draw
a symbol of that decision a long with his poem and
explain to the class how this choice makes him who
he is today. He will ask the students to think about
this kind of question as they are writing their own

Collaborative Learning
(Students do together):
Students will read as a class together by
reading examples of Haiku poems using
popcorn reading method. They will also engage
in group discussion about the assigned reading
Holistic Education. The reading will be divided
into small groups and asked to find two key
points that stood out to them.
Independent Learning
(Students do alone):
The students will be writing their own Haiku
poem and creating their own symbols. They will
explore their own identity based on a favorite
day or a decision. This may require them to
think of many ideas of themselves but the
poem puts all those ideas together as one
whole idea.

Our examples
Jaclyns Haiku
Forests Haiku
In your haiku, try to use details related to the senses -- sight, hearing, touch, smell, or
taste.
Try to "zoom in" on a small detail that contains the feeling of the larger scene.
Or follow the steps below to write a "surprise-ending haiku." This is based on an exercise from
the poet Ron Patchett which is described in The Haiku Handbook by William J.
Higginson:
1.Write two lines about something beautiful in nature. Don't worry about counting syllables
yet.
2.Write a third line that is a complete surprise, that is about something completely different
from the first two lines.
3.Look at the three lines together. Does the combination of these two seemingly unrelated
parts suggest any surprising relationships? Does it give you any interesting ideas?
4.Now rewrite the poem, using the 5-syllable, 7-syllable, 5-syllable format and
experimenting with the new ideas or perspectives that have occurred to you.
