Haiku can be fun,
But it's not my best talent.
How do I teach it?
I'm involved with an arts council which often has crafts for kids on Saturdays. This Saturday, we're having kids make cards with "Holiday Haiku." Guess who's going to be mostly in charge of teaching the haiku? Me.
Of course I know the basic formula for haiku: three un-rhymed lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. But I'm not sure how to teach that, especially the whole syllable thing. How do you teach the concept of syllables to kids?
Does anyone have any tips?
