5th Annual Thanksgiving Haiku Extravaganza!
For the last several years I have asked students to compose their best Thanksgiving Haiku. If you're not familiar with haiku, it's a Japanese poetry form that is made, simply, of three lines. The first line must contain five syllables, the second line must contain 7 syllables, and the third line must contain 5 syllables again.
For your extra credit points, you may submit up to three of your very own Thanksgiving haiku. Submissions will be posted to the blog for all to enjoy. Think turkey, stuffing, yams, pie, football, family, fun and get your creative juices (and saliva) flowing. As always, email your entries with your full name and period number included.
Here are a few Mrs. Peterson originals to inspire you:
Turkey, turkey, yum!
I love you most with mustard.
Sandwiches all week.

Mashed potato pool,
filled to the brim with gravy.
Let me dive right in.
Happy Haiku-ing!
Don't delay! This extra credit opportunity is short-lived. It expires on Saturday night at midnight-- so get to it and feel free to spread the word.
