Hey, how do I download it?
This is a warmer, and there is nothing to download. It's just an idea for your lesson, not a worksheet.
After studying a topic, like the cultural foundations of family, work with students to compose a haiku on the board. Give the rules of haiku: a poem of seventeen syllables and three lines (five syllables-seven-five), and a single vivid image.
Work together to create a haiku on the board or show an example:
Tangled together
In the bed early morning
My young family
Students can then work together or individually creating their own haikus. This is valuable because it gets students to connect an image to the topic as well as focus on number of syllables and form.
