April's Teaching Demo

Great job, April! You did a nice job teaching about haiku. I like to use haiku with my students as well--it seems to be a "safe" poetry format that doesn't make them shake at the knees. Maybe it's just the simplicity of them that they find comforting. I think it's a great way to teach vocabulary because the haiku format requires students to think about what words will work the best, both to convey a message and to meet the syllable requirements of the form. It was a fun lesson.
