Monday is JChapps' ELA Zoom Day - Haiku Show and Tell

My Most Excellent Students,

Congratulation!  You made it through another week.  Do you feel good?  I feel good. We can do this.

Okay, a couple of items:


KEEP COMMUNICATION LINES OPEN
I've been sending you emails through the email you chose on your Turnitin.com account.  Have you been getting them?  If

If any of you have any questions or just want to say "hi," please feel to email me at jchappell@birmingham.k12.mi.us 


UPCOMING ZOOM CLASSROOM MEETING
There is going to be an optional chance for us all to connect on Monday, 3/30/20, one hour at a time. 

Bear in mind that there's a lot of different tech questions and issues out there.  For this first time, we'll do the best that we can and muddle through.  I know that I'll probably make several mistakes myself, and that's okay.

I thought it might be fun to do a simple, "Show and Tell" activity with a twist.


OBJECT HAIKU POEM
When you log on, have an interesting object that you can hold in your hand (a book, a coffee cup, a baseball, a plastic flower bunny slippers... anything that we can all see on screen) and write a "no-fault, silly haiku poems" about the object.

Here are a few, short, easy video tutorials on how to write a Haiku poem:

Remember, it doesn't have to rhyme.

For example, here is my object:

Here's my silly, no-fault poem:

Dungeon Dice
by JChapps

red dice sit on table
evil dragon slain by rolls
pizza smells extra nice

Wasn't that terrible?   :)

That's okay.  It doesn't have to be any good.  Mine wasn't.

So, to be prepared for Monday's Zoom,

1) have your object ready to show

2) and have a silly Haiku poem to read.

It doesn't matter if it's "bad" or "good" -- just have fun.
