A survey of published English language haiku will more often than not reveal the same economy of words and syllables.<\/p>\n<p>After students have written to the assigned kigo, have a reading of their work and a discussion about the sights, smells, sounds and activities that signal the end of summer.<\/p>\n<p>Once a particular seasonal word phrase (<em>kigo<\/em>) has been explored broaden the discussion by asking students about other observations they have made or things they have experiences synonymous with the season as a whole. Again, focus on concrete images.<\/p>\n<p>The following haiku were written by 8th grade students:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>summer cottage<br \/>\nthe bullfrog<br \/>\nslips my grasp<\/p>\n<p>                                          Emily Cornish<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>summer breeze<br \/>\nthe flutter of clothes<br \/>\nthrown over a chair<\/p>\n<p>                                          Laura Santiago\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>summer dusk<br \/>\nthrowing stones<br \/>\nthrough a broken window<\/p>\n<p>                                          Travis Moore <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>We hope this lesson is a fun addition to your program and welcome your feedback!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Workshop on Kigo Try this: Assign the group a common kigo word or phrase.
