    Believe in yourself


    Kia ora. In English this week we will be using our longer Haiku poems (completed last week) and look at how we have used (or can use) poetic techniques to develop the imagery.  You may already have some rhyme, similes or metaphors - you will certainly have beat or rhythm due to the syllable format of haiku poetry. What else do you notice about your haiku?  Can you add another verse or two to use more poetic techniques?

    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    1. Write a haiku using the correct structure
    2. create a rap/lyric by writing 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
    5. Identify poetic techniques used in my poem

    Activities:

    1. Complete longer haiku poem (8-10 verses)
    2. Group these verses into stanzas (flash word for verses) containing at least 2 haiku
    3. Identify poetic techniques currently used in poem
    4. Include different poetic techniques into poem by writing additional stanzas
    5. annotate your longer poem to demonstrate your understanding of poetic techniques

    Homework:
    Write a poem for your family to enjoy
