I taught poetry to the ninth graders and used the haiku and tanka expressive
techniques. It was interesting that they found the words 'haiku' and 'tanka' having little meaning to these peotic styles. Once the class recieved ample examples to model from; however, the most influencial was bringing acutual Chinese tree and the like into the classroom or taking them to any Chinese botanical garden. It was an interesting yet amazing
outcome of student work.
