Haiku Poems 2

After writing group and class haiku poems, each student had to write a haiku independently. We used our class garden for inspiration. Some wrote a haiku  based on a photo of one of our monarch butterflies which hatched in our garden earlier this year, others looked elsewhere around the garden. We learned how to get maximum impact from only 17 syllables. We also learned how to hyphenate adjectives to help make our descriptions more precise. Here are some of the results:
