Teachers, are you getting prepared for your poetry unit? Introduce haiku poems using Andrew Clements, Dogku. It’s a sweet story of a stray dog finding a home, but the whole story is written using haiku poems. After reading the story, see if any of your children noticed any pattern. Encourage them to write their own story using only haiku poems. Early finishers can illustrate their stories as well.
