What are syllables?
Break down three words from week 4 and 5 spellings into separate syllables. Separate them with hyphens e.g.
acc-i-dent-a-lly
- A focus on nature
- A division somewhere in the poem, between one thing and another. The relationship between them is sometimes surprising.
- shows the details that cause emotion rather than describing feeling e.g. if the sight of an empty winter sky made the poet feel lonely, simply describing that sky can give the same feeling to the reader.
- Line (1) = 5 syllables. Line (2) = 7 syllables. Line (3) = 5 syllables
Read these two haiku then brainstorm a definition
The last winter leaves
Clinging to the black branches
Explode into birds.
Words fall like leaves.
On to the empty white page
A story appears.
Now write three haiku of your own. Count the syllables!
1. about nature
2. about loyalty/revenge/nobility or any other theme of Julius Caesar
3. about studying Shakespeare
