Week 1 Term 2 Artwork and Poetry

Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry. Typically, haikus are written about nature, but they can be about any topic. We have created these simple line drawings of a cityscape, using rulers and vivid  markers. These urban areas are not unlike the housing estates where Zoe lives in the 'Ratburger' a Novel by David Walliams that we are reading in class. We used the drawings to inspire our poems.
Haikus have a very specific syllable structure. The first line of every haiku has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and the last line has 5 syllables.

  2. Kia ora Killeen Class,

    I love your cityscape art work! Did it take you a long time? It looks like it was very tricky. Your haiku are very descriptive, I really enjoyed the different pictures they painted in my mind. Thanks for sharing your learning.
