Introduction. Task. Process. Resources. Evaluation. Conclusions.
created by Mr.Mrtz
This task is designed for students of seventh grade from Gimnasio Los Portales who would like to understand the community of Haiku poets, the origin of Haiku and to create a journal of haiku poems under the horizon of our school nature.
Joining together as writers and researchers, student from 7th grade will explore the scene of Haiku on
the school facilities or grounds from four different perspectives. They will then create a journal with the information they’ve gathered and created. The journal will be created using Microsoft Publisher. they will also create a PowerPoint Presentation to introduce the class to the art form of Haiku.
Students will work together to create an authentic pocket journal of Haiku poetry. There are two phases to this project. Phase one is research, phase two is the creation of the journal, and phase three is the creation of the PowerPoint presentation.
Phase One
There are four roles to take part in:
1. Historian
The historian is responsible for locating information about the great Haiku writers of the past. This will include both Asian and American writers. The historian will be responsible for writing a biographical history of haiku. Your report should answer the following questions:
1. What is the history of Haiku?
2. Who are the great Haiku masters? (hint: there are at least four… )
Give a brief biography of them.
3. Who are the living contributors to the Haiku scene today?
2. Beat Scene Scout
Your report will be to locate ten Haiku. The Haiku team will set off for a quest around the school grounds. Prepared with digital cameras, batteries, worksheets, tons of imagination and nature perception and appreciation will take pictures of the scenery. Forest, corridors, gardens among others will be source of where the mind´s eye will discover the beauty, sensibility, affection, and love for nature.
3. Scholar
The Scholar will locate the definitions of what a Haiku is.
Your report needs to answer the following question:
1. Define Haiku.
4. Editor
Your job will be to locate the haiku on a publisher format. You will also preview the haiku in PowerPoint to create a template for both a journal and a PowerPoint presentation. You will need to locate pictures suitable for a Haiku presentation and locate samples of other Haiku.
All participants will be writing haiku poems to contribute as well.
Creating the journal.
It is compulsory to write ten Haikus with their corresponding pictures.
This journal will be named by the student team. Final drafts will be approved by the Editor. Compilation and organization of the journal will be a team effort.
The idea here is to create a journal based upon the facts that the members have accumulated. For example, a journal of traditional haiku could be made by inserting them in a plastic pocket.
Be creative and have fun!
The goal of the PowerPoint presentation is to inform your peers of the world of Haiku. The idea is to inform, not bore, do not lose the perspective that it is an enjoyable task and so keep it brief, as you will be handing out the journal to your peers.
Goals for PowerPoint Presentation:
Create a 10 slide presentation.
Use appropriate graphics and sounds for a Haiku presentation.
