Room 8 haiku

For the past few days room 8 and I have been learning about Haiku.Haiku is a traditional poem that only has:

• Three lines
• 17 syllables: first line 5 syllables, second line 7 syllables and last line 5 syllables.
• And you have to use seasonal reference.

I enjoyed writing the haiku in a group. This is my group haiku:

     Clouds emptied the sky,

Waves crashing onto the rocks

      Blanketing the sand

My group haiku

     Clouds emptied the sky,

Descriptive writing

WALT: Write a descriptive paragraph using imagery.

Today we wrote a paragraph about a earthquake using the five senses. I worked in a pair with Heather.

The earthquake was like a magnet, drawing in buildings and making them collapse onto the floor. Chaotic people shot around in fear, while birds instantly evacuated the area. My nose was filled with dirt and dust from broken cement. As the ground shook I flopped onto the cold floor that I was once standing on. Dogs cried out loudly while tree leaves and branches rustled together aggressively. My hands were trembling by the sight of crazy power lines uncontrollably swaying in the polluted brown sky that once was a shade of baby blue.
