Martia shows off her haiku flower.
Our Friday-before-last was a half-day with only 4th-7th periods meeting, so instead of continuing activities, we did some fun artsy-crafty poetry for extra credit points.
The only rules:
- Write a haiku (a poem with three lines: one with 5 syllables, one with 7 syllables, and another with 5 syllables).
- Cut out a (stemless) flower.
- Write the haiku on the flower.
- Be colorful and creative.
The plan is to make a poetry garden with lots of green paper stems and their haiku flowers all over top. I’ll be sure to post pictures once it’s done … probably next week, since I opened the activity up to 1st and 3rd periods, too, today.
And here are Kim and Michaela, who decided to make extra-special swirly flowers in addition to their haiku flowers:
