Haiku

A fun way to practice writing haiku is to have students write a book in haiku format. DogKu written by Andrew Clements is a great starting point for this writing project. After reading the book, third and fourth grade students wrote their own stories in Microsoft PowerPoint. Students were given the option to illustrate their stories using TuxPaint or the draw tools available in PowerPoint. Completed stories were uploaded to Issuu in pdf format.
