Students learn what haiku is, practice the 5–7–5 syllable structure, and write a nature-themed haiku matched to a nature postcard.

The wed url is: [http://www.teachkidsart.net/tunnel-books/](http://www.teachkidsart.net/tunnel-books/)  \nInstructional Objectives:  \nII.1.G-Identify and use placement and change in detail to create illusion of space. Identify and use positive and negative space  \nElements of Art (circle one or more): line, color, shape, space, texture, value  \nPrinciples of Design (circle one or more) : repetition , balance, emphasis, contrast, unity  \nMaterials and Equipment:  \nMaterials (per student):  \n1—4x6 post card (a single, horizontal scene from nature is best for traditional Japanese haiku)  \n*4—4x6 index cards (white)  \n*4—4x6 index cards (white), each pre-cut into two 3”x4” pieces  \n(3 extra 4x6 index cards, white, if you want to add a pocket in the back)  \n1—3x5 index card, cut to 2 ½”x4 ½” (a color other than white if possible, to use as a template for tracing the opening)  \nscissors  \nglue stick  \npencil and eraser  \nlined paper for writing haiku  \nblack UF Sharpie  \ncolored pencils  \n(*Each “page” of your tunnel book will require two — 4x6 cards. These instructions are for the four “page”book shown.)  \nVocabulary:  \nHaiku, foreground, background  \nArt production: 1.anticipatory set 2. state objectives 3. Input: art history, instructions 4 .demonstration, modeling 5. check for understanding 6. guided practice 7. independent practice 8. closure  \n1. Share Japanese Haikus. Show completed Haiku tunnel book.  \n2. Students will learn what a haiku is and how to write one. Students will learn what foreground and background are and how to use them in their tunnel book.  \n3. Explain how to write a Haiku:  \na. Begin by reading a few haiku poems to your students, so they get the feel for the structure of the verse. Choose haiku that focus on nature as a theme, as you find in traditional Japanese haiku. Explain that a haiku does not need to rhyme. Titles are optional.  \nb. Show how each of the 3 lines has a specific number of syllables (5,7,5) . Practice by clapping out the syllables in the haiku you just read.  \nc. Pass out post cards and have students write a nature-themed haiku to go with their postcard. The first line (5 syllables) introduces their subject, the 2nd line (7 syllables) continues describing it, and the 3rd line (5 syllables) completes the idea. (A“What Am I?” haiku is fun for kids   the student uses the haiku to describe something in the picture without naming it, somewhat like a riddle.)  \n4. Show examples of foreground and background in art.  \n5. Have students write their own haiku using an art piece as inspiration.  \n6. Demonstrate how to make tunnel book. (See Instructions below)  \nDirections:  \nTunnel Book:  \n1. First, make the hinged sides of your book by folding each of your 3”x4” index cards accordion style: fold in half lengthwise (“mountain fold”), then fold each loose edge up (“valley fold”) to line up with the fold in the middle.  \n2. Next, put a little glue along the inside edge of two of your hinges, and place them on the left and right sides of the back of your post card. Repeat this step for each 4x6 card.  \n3. Then, center your 2 ½” x 4 ½” card on each of the 4x6 cards and trace around it. These will be your pages and your “cover”.  \n4. Write one line of your haiku across the top of each of 3 cards, and your title (if you want one) across the other. Trace with Sharpie.  \n5. Now, illustrate each page of your book by choosing elements from the post card and repeating them on the edges of each page. Keep most of your design along the top, bottom and sides, but allow some elements to overlap into the center section.(Remember that objects closer to you will appear larger than those farther away. Outline your drawing with Sharpie and color with colored pencils. )  \n6. Cut away the center section of each ","cbCaihcLUDtJMP48","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihcLUDtJMP48","pdf",1547286,"English","# Instructional Objectives\n# Vocabulary and Art Production Steps\n# Materials and Equipment\n# Haiku Writing Instruction\n# Tunnel Book Directions\n# Art History/Resources and Examples\n# Art Criticism Questions and Evaluation Criteria\n# Modifications and Optional Pocket","[{\"question\":\"What is the required haiku syllable pattern in this lesson?\",\"answer\":\"Students write haiku with three lines following the 5–7–5 syllable pattern.
