Write Your Own Haiku

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Use this resource as a quick and easy way to discuss the characteristics of haikus. Learners identify the number of syllables required for each line, and talk about the subject matter. The one thing missing from this presentation is an overview of traditional Japanese haikus. This would give learners a better idea of why this art form is valued.
