Thanks for sharing this. very true and useful. I also use some word games as similar tools and it works.

BTW, further more we will have the “Iron Haiku Chef Competition” at the 2017 West Chester Poetry Conference for one open poetry reading event.

It should be fun.

Anna

Susan,
.

Truly impressive and inspiring.
.
I regularly teach haiku and associated genres, and have been in schools many times. If I am lucky and there are dedicated teachers and teaching assistants, we go to the moon and back. :-)
.
When a child makes a breakthrough, and supported by teachers, most often, it is pure magic, and the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. :-)

warm regards, and deep appreciation for your report,

Alan

I’m so grateful to those among us who find the time to teach about haiku — and for ideas like this for the rest of us who might have that opportunity someday. I will be pointing newcomers to this resource often. Thank you! –Billie
