Learning Environment In a computer lab setting, students will be asked to write a haiku which I must approve before they can move on to the quiz, then pass the quiz with 100% accuracy.
A little introduction We have learned lately of different writing styles, today we will focus on poetry. More specifically on the haiku. I chose to do this today since Valentine’s Day is coming up. For doing well you will receive special treats relevant to the holiday!
Let’s begin with some history Haiku comes from a form of Japanese poetry called Tanka, which was popular in the 9th-12th centuries
Tanka Tanka was used to discuss religious and cortly issues. It was 5 lines in length and had a 5-7-5-7-7 syllable structure. Two people would often form a longer poem by continuing the syllable structure from the previous poem. This is called a renga.
Where Haiku comes from The beginning of the tanka was called a hokku or a “starting verse.” Eventually these hokku’s were made their own poem. This is where we got the word haiku. Basho, Buson, Issa, and Shiki are all credited with helping develop the haiku, but Basho was the most famous.
Basho Basho began to write poems for publication in 1676. In 1684 he started his travels around Japan after he experienced personal devastation when his house burned down.
Basho’s most famous poem Breaking the silence, Of an ancient pond, A frog jumped into water- A deep resonance. This is about a frog, but also about Basho’s life.
Structure of a Haiku • 17 syllables • 3 lines • 5-7-5 syllable count • Focuses on a single, insightful moment • Contains a kigo (an image of nature)
