Literacy:

Today we are going to be learning about Haikus! 🇯🇵 “Haiku” is a traditional form of Japanese poetry which are typically about the seasons or nature. 🌸🍁🌳🌼

Haiku poems consist of 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme. Here’s a Haiku to help you remember:

I am first with five

Then seven in the middle

Five again to end.

Here are some examples:

Haiku Poetry

I can write poetry in the Haiku form.

Warm Up:

For your warm up today I would like you all to watch this video which will explain haiku poetry a little bit more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb6RC0zB_-4

Main Task:

For our main task today we are going to be writing a haiku about a coral reef. 🐠 First, we need to brainstorm some describing words which we may want to use in our poems. If you would like some inspiration, you could watch this video that has lots of great footage of coral reefs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2BKd5e15Jc

Okay, now we have some great descriptive words, let’s start forming our 3 lines. Remember haiku poems always have 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second line and 5 syllables in the third line.

Your success criteria today:

Extension:

Can you create another haiku about something of your choice? How about writing one about lockdown or your favourite hobby?
