Title of lesson: Short and Sweet: The Haiku

Description of lesson: The Haiku can look simple. In this lesson students will be exposed to Haikus and to the form and process used to write a Haiku. Students will be exposed to different Haikus as well as the History behind them. The lesson will culminate in a Haiku written by each student.  

Assignment: This assignment will give the students a little bit of background knowledge about the Haiku. The actual Haiku Poem will be due at the end of the week (question #10 of the scavanger hunt), but the rest should be done the next day. Hopefully this assignment will also open the students up to new ways of using the internet to find information! Resources/materials needed: Interent, creativity, computer

Technology used: Microsoft Word, the internet, search engines.

The technology used in this lesson changes the teaching / learning in this way: The online scavanger hunt will allow the students to learn about Haikus in a way that is different from the everyday lecture. They will be on their own turf-the internet. The resources in the scavanger hunt will also enable them to write their own Haiku. They will hopefully be more interested and engaged in the scavanger hunt than they might be in a regular lecture about the Haiku.
