I will be teaching my 9th grade students about Basho and the Japanese Haiku. This poetry is easy to create and students can put in their heartfelt emotions into writing in this style. This poetry opens a window into the Japanese culture and is an elegant and simple form of expression, that this age group can master without too much difficulty. I am looking forward to teaching this poetry to my many diverse students and cultures in my own classroom.
