Counting Out Syllables 1. Count out the Syllables in the words below. 2. Try saying them aloud to help you work out the syllables.
Now we know about syllables we can start some Haiku Poetry. .
Write a Wonderful thought ^
Exploring My Brand English Unit Stage 4 ©2014 by Lisa Logan pg17
A form of Japanese poetry, usually connected with the seasons, with the traditional form being three short lines of syllables of 5-7-5 There are other forms of Haiku, with different syllable lengths, but the traditional form is the original Haiku.
Example of a traditional Haiku:
The low hanging sun (5) looks over the autumn land (7) Shimmering brightly (5)
Notice in this short imagery of the sun in autumn, there is personification ‘looks over the autumn land’. This is because the sun is given a human quality. The words in the last line are carefully chosen words: shimmering (a strong verb) and an adverb: brightly
Now you try making your own haiku Write a Haiku for a strong emotion you have felt, concentrating and thinking carefully of word choices.
Some examples are in the columns to the right>
What is a Strong emotion you have felt before? ___________________
What are some words to describe
this emotion?
