Haiku Poems for Syllabic and Phonetic Awareness

Sat, Apr 29, 13:00-14:20 Asia/Seoul

Location: P202

Creating Haiku poetry combines syllabic and phonetic awareness for English learners. This workshop demonstrates a Jigsaw PBL (Project-Based Learning) method. After an interactive warm-up activity practicing question forms to know each other, the class learns the Haiku poem structure. Then small groups of mixed-level participants brainstorm words associated with their local towns evoking nature to actively collaborate and create Haikus about their respective environments. Final presentations are on group posters (analog) and a wholeclass e-book accessible to the world (digitally on Canva). For professional development participants work in small, mixed groups to experience a jigsaw lesson in order to plan their own jigsaw lessons with their students’ needs in mind. Free resources are shared via Google Classroom and participants are invited to join a Facebook group for teachers to collaborate and share teaching tips as an on-demand professional development source to continue the conversation.
