Here are the assignments for today:
1. Journal- How were the subs and how was your weekend? Paper and pencil.
2. Poetry-
Haiku-

"Haiku" is a traditional form of Japanese poetry.  Haiku poems consist of 3 lines.  The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables.  The lines rarely rhyme.
Here's a Haiku to help you remember:

I am first with five
Then seven in the middle --
Five again to end.

Because Haikus are such short poems, they are usually written about things that are recognizable to the reader.  Animals and seasons are examples of recognizable topics you might enjoy exploring.

Create a Haiku and then paint a picture that symbolizes your poem. Post your project on the wall.
