Each week we are going to learn about a new type of poem. Complete each daily task so that you are ready to create the best possible poem that you can at the end of the week.

THIS WEEK'S POEM: Haiku.

A haiku is a three-line poem containing 17 syllables that attempts to paint a picture in your mind using words. Each line contains a specific number of syllables. The first line has five, the second has seven, and the third also has five. Read the examples below.


After reading the examples, answer the questions below. You can print out the page and fill it in, save a copy of it and edit it with your answers, or write your responses on a separate piece of paper. When finished, upload your answers to FreshGrade. If you require further clarification, be sure to check out the "Daily Reading and Writing Tasks" video for today found on the Teams channel.
