I am a retired high school English teacher, but still do poetry workshops in April. Getting high school students to partake in haiku means having them engage in consciousness and test each sense in isolation . This is usually more effective outside the classroom – in the park or bush. Touch the bark , the grass , the snow, smell the air. Of course, feelings and memories, and learning ladders all come into consciousness . After they have written, they share if willing. Then a haiku anthology is created. Students may also illustrate their haiku.
