575 A Haiku Adventure
In this worksheet, students are scaffolded on the way to writing haiku. Encourage your students to share their work after they’re finished, either in small groups or as a class.
It is a part of a larger unit that introduces students to a number of literary devices, develop their skills in writing poetry, while fostering an interest in its variety of forms.

- We are learning to experiment with text structures and language features and their effects in creating texts, for example using imagery, sentence variation, metaphor and word choice.
- We are learning to analyse and evaluate similarities and differences in texts on similar topics, themes or plots.
- We are learning to identify the relationship between words, sounds, imagery and language patterns in narratives and poetry such as ballads, limericks and free verse.
