Teaching and Learning Haiku in Community and Classroom: Stories, Challenges, Adventures<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you teach haiku? In a classroom? An arts foundation? Community education? We want to hear about it. Want some new ideas? A place to vet an old idea before you try it \u201clive\u201d? Community support? How We Haiku \u2014 Teaching Stories<\/em> is a monthly feature wherein we will share the many diverse and interesting ways your bring our favorite genre to your audience. Each month Brad Bennett and Jeannie Martin, co-chairs of The Haiku Foundation Education Committee, will host your stories of how you make haiku come alive for your students, and create an environment where educators can discuss the many challenges faced in bringing a fuller sense of haiku to a culture that knows little more than the stereotypes. Contact us<\/a> to share your teaching stories, to ask your questions, and to find fellowship with your peers and the rest of the haiku community. <\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe cannot teach a person directly, we can only facilitate his or her learning.\u201d

This month Julie Warther, Midwest Regional Coordinator for the Haiku Society of America, tailors a teaching method to a unique circumstance.<\/p>\n

Walking and Talking: A Fun Way to Teach and Learn Haiku<\/h5>\n

\nAs every teacher knows, some of the best teachable moments don\u2019t take place in a classroom. Although I\u2019ve taught haiku lessons for various grade levels in the schools, led workshops at the public library and worked one-on-one in a mentoring capacity, I recently had a teaching experience that caught me by surprise. It occurred while giving tours of the Forest Haiku Walk, a path containing thirty haiku stones<\/a> located on the grounds of The Inn at Honey Run in Millersburg, Ohio. I hadn’t planned to “teach,” but the situation lent itself naturally to just that. My first group consisted of my friends (none of which had a particular interest in haiku) and guests at the Inn (again, most of which had only a vague idea of what haiku was.) I thought I would lead the hike, read each haiku stone and answer questions as they came up (if they came up.) But each poem illustrated and provided an opportunity to discuss some aspect of haiku: brevity, objectivity, seasonality, line breaks, pivot lines, the use of lower case letters and minimal punctuation, synesthesia, juxtaposition of the two parts of the poem as well as between the poem and its surrounding. (For example, why did I choose to place this haiku in this location?) <\/p>\n

The hike provided a natural and non-threatening environment to learn something new as we paused a short while to read the poem, then moved on, discussing as we went. Soon, others were offering observations and asking questions. Many times, just as visitors to the path thought they knew haiku, we would encounter a different way haiku can work. (An excellent time to mention that while haiku can be learned very quickly, poets will work a lifetime toward \u201cmastery.\u201d) <\/p>\n

Obviously, not everyone has a haiku path. But the experience can easily be simulated. In the attached document, I created a page for each haiku on the Forest Haiku Walk (with permission from the poets). Now readers can create their own “haiku path.\u201d Simply print the pages on cardstock, laminate if desired, and tape each one to a paint stirrer or dowel rod. Then place the stake in the ground along a prearranged nature path before leading a walk. (Remember to get permission from the landowner or park director first.) Afterwards, collect the signs to store for another use or recycle. <\/p>\n

Of course, lesson plans can and should be adapted to meet your specific needs. Here are a few suggestions. Use your own poems in a path-like format in place of a traditional reading or book launching. Select and feature poems by a well-known haiku poet to discuss his\/her particular style and contributions to haiku. Use this exercise as a culminating event to a unit on haiku by placing student-written haiku on the path and allowing each student to read their haiku to the group in turn.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
