Winter Haiku Poetry - PowerPoint

Winter Haiku Poetry is an engaging PowerPoint resource aimed at Year 5 and 6 pupils, focusing on the composition and crafting of haiku poems. The objectives of this resource include reading, listening to, and discussing haiku poems, understanding their structural rules, and collaboratively creating a class haiku. The presentation guides students through the unique characteristics of haiku poetry, such as its three-line structure with a syllable pattern of 5-7-5, and the traditional focus on nature, animals, and the seasons. The resource encourages students to listen attentively to haiku readings to identify common elements and to explore the concept of syllables with practical examples.

Building on the foundation of haiku poetry, students are tasked with writing their own winter-themed haikus, drawing inspiration from a spider diagram filled with seasonal imagery and ideas. They are instructed to follow the haiku rules, using a specific syllable pattern and punctuation to enhance the poem's meaning. The resource provides a list of evocative words and images to spark creativity, and students are given the opportunity to share their work, receive feedback, and understand the importance of drafting and redrafting to refine their writing. Finally, the class comes together to create a collective winter haiku display, showcasing their individual poems as part of a larger winter landscape scene.
