Haiku Poems

This term we have been studying ecological sustainability.  We have looked at local, national and world wide systems that we need to look after to keep our environment sustainable for the many generations of people to come.  These systems have included the water cycle, water pollution, air pollution, deforestation, urban sprawl and climate change.

This past week we have had a go at writing Haiku poems to summarise some of the problems we have encountered.

Haiku poems are traditionally Japanese poems about nature.  We studied a variety of examples and identified the syllable pattern is usually 5, 7, 5 but some vary from that a little.  They also didn't generally rhyme.

Here is a slide show of one poem from each person in the class.

    I learnt that our world is getting worse and worse every second because we are producing to much carbon dioxide which cause global warming so that when your great great great grandchild is alive it will be really hard live with a earth that hot and not much of a water supply.

    I enjoyed making these Haiku poems. I like poems, and it was great to see everyone in class thinking about what actually is happening to our world. By Cooper.
