Sadako Haiku

A haiku is a Japanese form of poem that has very strict rules.

Each line of the poem must have a certain number of syllables.

The first line has 5

The second line has 7

The third line has 5

(Check my syllables above... I think I just wrote a haiku!)

Sadako Haiku

Sadako is free

She is racing like the wind

Paper wings outstretched

What is a syllable again?

A syllable is a beat of a word. Sometimes we clap to find how many syllables are in a word. For instance, the word watermelon. Clap for every beat you here: Wa\ter\mel\on... So watermelon has 4 syllables!

One Pager

Remember, every one pager needs to have the following:

• Title and Author (Eleanor Coerr) 
• Description of a main character 
• At least one main image or scene from the book
• More, small visual images (drawings, pictures, etc.)
• At least one question you have about the book
• A lesson or theme from the book
• At least one symbol that was important to the story. Explain in words what the symbol means.

Paper Cranes

Write something on a piece of paper (a wish, a thought about the book, a fear, etc.) and then fold it into a paper crane. You can even string them up by your window if you like!
