POETRY 

Slide 1 - Slide

Some questions about poetry 
What is poetry?
Do you ever read poetry? 
Have you ever written any poetry?
Does poetry have to rhyme? 
On the next three slides, there are some examples. Read them thoroughly as I will ask some questions about them later. 

Slide 2 - Slide

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
   So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
   So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Your hair is winter fire
January embers
My heart burns there, too.

Worksheet 
I'm going to give you a worksheet each. Start by reading the poem about the bus and answer the questions in part 1

Ready? Count the syllables in each line of the poem. Then read through the information in part 3 while I hand out the jumbled up haikus 


Slide 7 - Slide



Alone I cling to
The freezing mountain and see
White cloud below me 

Slide 8 - Slide



All done without thought
Dogs taste blood. A fox is caught.
And they call it sport? 

Slide 9 - Slide

Time to write your own 
Part one: in your group, choose a theme
Part two: on your own, write down some words that come to mind when you think about the theme
Part three: get back together with your group. With the input from each member, write your own haiku. Remember the rules: 5 syllables - 7 syllables - 5 syllables, one image.
