Dear Mama,
Narrations allow students to show what they learned in class and can look different from lesson to lesson because they don’t need the same structure.
This week we did a Haiku narration for our Japanese history lesson plan. It was so fun to see the kids get excited about creating this poem. The best part is that haiku can be done as a class and not individually. You will see students work and struggle (in a fun way) to compose their haiku.
What is a haiku?
A haiku is a short, unrhymed Japanese poem that follows a 5-syllable, 7-syllable, and 5-syllable structure. To create a haiku, follow the following format:
Line 1: 5-syllable phrase (beginning)
Line 2: 7-syllable phrase (middle)
Line 3: 5-syllable phrase (end)
The haiku captures the main parts of the lesson. Because it is a restricted poem, students will work hard to share the main idea.
I hope this gives you another idea for narrating.
Warmly,
Mirley
