Read! As mentioned in class, our number of minutes for independent reading is going to be reduced until after ISAT. On the nights you don't have formal work that you will turn in, you should read. As is the case tonight: read your novel for 30 minutes.

Reading:
Poetry - complete your Haiku! Don't forget to follow the 5-7-5 syllable format. It should be decorated in a way that represents your words. Make it wall worthy!
Background information:
What to write about?: Haiku-poems can describe almost anything, but you seldom find themes which are too complicated. Some of the most thrilling Haiku-poems describe daily situations in a way that gives the reader a brand new experience of a well-known situation.
Haiku can be based on your own everyday experiences. A haiku can be funny, serious, or even just a "snapshot" of a moment or a scene. You will have 20 minutes for this assignment, then have students share their best poems in their groups or with the class.
The metrical pattern of Haiku: Haiku-poems consist of respectively 5, 7 and 5 syllables in three units.
The seasonal theme: Each Haiku must contain a kigo, a season word, which indicate in which season the Haiku is set. For example, cherry blossoms indicate spring, snow indicate winter, and mosquitoes indicate summer, but the season word isn't always that obvious.
