Nick will demonstrate how he wrote his Haiku
poem. He will do this using the projector or gather

will be of a decision he has had to make. He will
then draw a symbol of that decision a long with his
poem and explain to the class how this choice
makes him who he is today. He will ask the

Forests Haiku
In your haiku, try to use details related to the senses -- sight, hearing, touch, smell, or
taste.
Try to "zoom in" on a small detail that contains the feeling of the larger scene.
Or follow the steps below to write a "surprise-ending haiku." This is based on an exercise
from the poet Ron Patchett which is described in The Haiku Handbook by William J.
Higginson:
1.Write two lines about something beautiful in nature. Don't worry about counting
syllables yet.
2.Write a third line that is a complete surprise, that is about something completely
different from the first two lines.
3.Look at the three lines together. Does the combination of these two seemingly
unrelated parts suggest any surprising relationships? Does it give you any interesting
ideas?
4.Now rewrite the poem, using the 5-syllable, 7-syllable, 5-syllable format and
experimenting with the new ideas or perspectives that have occurred to you.
