  • He Taonga rongonui te aroha ki te tangata

    Goodwill towards others is a precious treasure

    Kia ora, we are going to have to be really focussed this week as we are losing our session on Friday. That said, I have seen some awesome work over the past week and I know that you are all going to rise to the challenge, help each other and create some amazing work! You have all written a haiku about a piece of Kiwiana.  This week, you are going to write further haiku about the same piece of kiwiana and turn these into a rap/lyric.  Repeating lines or even verses (i.e. one haiku) is a good way to link the haiku together to create the music in poetry.  You may want to experiment with the order of your haiku to create your lyrical story.  


    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    1. Write a haiku using the correct structure
    2. create a rap/lyric by wringing haiku about the same theme
    3. link these haiku together in a longer piece of verse
    4. use reoccurring motifs to give my lyrics structure

    Activities:

    1. Choose a piece of kiwiana
    2. Write a haiku about this kiwiana
    3. write further haiku about the same piece of kiwiana
    4. organise/sequence haiku to develop your ideas
    5. practice delivering your haiku lyrics to check for poetic flow
    6. publish your lyrics for classroom display
    7. Write here

    Homework:
    Share your haiku at home.  Challenge your family to write a haiku too!
