Today in history, we were learning about the Yamato dynasty of Japan. The activity that went along with our reading was to create a haiku, a poetic form that originated in Japan over 700 years ago. If you don't know, a haiku is short, non-rhyming, usually made of 3 lines, and describes something in nature. The form is: Line 1- 5 syllables, Line 2- 7 syllables, Line 3- 5 syllables. I'm pretty proud of what we came up with together!
First we picked a season: Spring.
Then we thought of nature-related words to describe Spring. From our list we chose, birds.
Then we brainstormed words that described birds.
Birds in Spring
Soaring, flying, hop
laying eggs in their brown nests
eating worms, tweet tweet!
