wrote beautiful Haiku poems about the hope for peace and the devastation of war. To go with these poems, the students were introduced to the art of kanji, an ancient Japanese writing. To complete their kanji, students used India ink. I am very impressed buy the final products!Here are a few examples of these amazing haikus:
Fight to the End
His last breath taken
A country served in honour
Tears no longer flow.
~Ryan~
Sorrow
Destruction surrounds
Tears and screams are shouted out
No one understands.
~Katarina~
The End of the Battle
Flags sway in the wind
Trumpets are playing their song
Peace is in the air.
~Caitlin~
Imagine
Imagine a world
With no sorrow and death
and no more crying.
~Sana~
Today's awesomeness
Learning about another culture
It is so easy to stick to what you know, but there are so many amazing cultures out there to explore! As we have been learning about Japan this week, we have been introduced to many exciting things such as Japanese legends, origami, kanji and haikus. Learning how other people in different parts of the world live? Awesome!
