    • Haiku are traditionally about nature.
    • 3 lines; each line contains a set number of syllables.
      • ​Syllable: a form of pronunciation that has one vowel sound
        1 Syllable: All
        2 Syllable: Wa-ter
        3 Syllable: Po-e-try

Picture
  • The haiku that we'll be discussing today have been translated from Japanese.
    • Because of this, these poems do not fit the 5 syllable / 7 syllable / 5 syllable format in English
  • Haiku by Violet Kazue de Cristoforo
    • Take 5 minutes to read & annotate the reading about Violet de Cristoforo and her haiku.
    • We will use this to prepare for a discussion.
      • Δ Change in thinking
      • + Agree 
      • - Disagree
      • O Important words​
      • ☆ Interesting Information
      • ? Question/confusion
      • ! Important
      • ∞ Connection
  • Think: Take 1 minute without talking to think about group discussions.
    • ​Brainstorm 3 qualities of a successful and positive group discussion. What should one look and sound like?
  • ​Let’s practice those qualities for a successful & positive group discussion!​
    • With your table groups you will:
      • Use discussion questions to analyze the haiku you read by Violet De Cristoford.
      • Practice using the discussion qualities we brainstormed as a class.
      • Reflect on how well you and your group participated in the discussion.
    • ​Choose 3 discussion questions to answer for each haiku. Then, use the discussion and response sentence starters to consider each question.
  • Post Discussion
    • ​What was easy about having a group discussion? 
    • What was difficult?
    • What was a new or interesting idea that was discussed in your group?
  • Reflection
    • ​Answer the reflection questions about your group discussion.
    • This will be your exit ticket.
    • When you finish, start drafting two haiku. These are homework if you do not finish them in class.
