This short unit (3 lessons) introduces haiku to KS3 students through the theme of journeys. Poetry is often about journeys, both literal and metaphorical, and studying haiku is a simple way to help students connect to their surroundings and produce personal and creative work.
Haiku are a part of Japanese culture sometimes mistakenly taught as just a three-line, 5-7-5 syllable poems. This unit aims to give students the real essence of haiku as they work on core literacy skills.
