Hopefully, you\u2019ve been as inspired by their accounts of their teaching experiences as we have. For this month\u2019s post, we thought it would be fun to ask some questions about haiku teaching. We invite you to reply via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehaikufoundation.org\/contact\/\">comment section<\/a>. You can pick one question, two questions, or a bunch. Let\u2019s continue the dialogue about how we teach this rewarding poetry form. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tTo whom have you taught haiku?<br \/>\n\u2022\tHow do you change your pedagogy based on your audience?<br \/>\n\u2022\tHow do you reach folks who don\u2019t know much about haiku?<br \/>\n\u2022\tHow do people react when you tell them they don\u2019t have to stick to the 5-7-5 model?<br \/>\n\u2022\tWhich groups have been the most receptive to learning about haiku?<br \/>\n\u2022\tWhich groups have been the least receptive to learning about haiku?<br \/>\n\u2022\tWhat do you consider to be the most important elements of haiku when you teach?<br \/>\n\u2022\tWhat other Japanese short forms have you taught?<br \/>\n\u2022\tDo you ever teach haiku along with free verse?<br \/>\n\u2022\tWhich haiku lessons are most successful?<br \/>\n\u2022\tWhich lessons have bombed? Why?<br \/>\n\u2022\tWhich venues or spaces have been most amenable to teaching haiku?<br \/>\n\u2022\tIf you\u2019ve been tentative about teaching haiku, what obstacles are in your way?<br \/>\n\u2022\tHave you tried out any of the ideas you\u2019ve read about in Teaching Stories?<\/p>\n<p>Please dive into this pond \u2014 the water is fine!
