Haiku Poetry


WALT... listen to a variety of Haiku poems and discuss how they are written
... become familiar with the elements of haiku poems
... learn the value of descriptive words (adjectives and verbs) in creating verbal imagery
... sort words by number of syllables

Example by Annie

Athletes competing
Beijing Summer Olympics
Winning gold medals

How is it written?

1st line: 5 syllables
2nd line: 7 syllables
3rd line: 5 syllables

Remember to count the number of syllables in the entire line!
If your line has too many syllables or not enough syllables, delete, add, or substitute words.
