Haiku Poem.

Haiku Poem...

What is a haiku poem...

Well if you do not know what a haiku poem is, then today I'm going to tell you what a haiku poem is now- A haiku is an unrhymed three-line poem. It is based on a traditional Japanese poetic form. Though there are different ways to write haiku, the traditional pattern in English is to write the first and last lines with five syllables each, and the middle line with seven syllables. In other words, the pattern of syllables looks like this:

Here are some links to help you to get started with your haiku poem....

A Wonderful Gift...

Faith,Taylor,Jayden, Mavis got the chance to experience another way of  learning with the Manaiakalani. A fantastic piece of news which came to us as "Someone donated some money to the Manaikalani education trust" Well we found out that someone was MrWill.I.Am

I hope you enjoy reading my awesome experience below 

Please leave a comment!!!

Thursday 6 May 2013, was well... the best day of our life!!! I’m not being dramatic or anything but a group of students got the chance to see that Mr.William James Adams,otherwise known as Will.I.Am . He has donated $100,000 to the Manaiakalani Education Trust. We were told at first that it was an anonymous donater but when we arrived we got the news that it was Will.I.Am himself who had donated the money.It was something worth experiencing.

When the cheque was presented we were thankful and honored for his helpful donation towards the Manaiakalani Education Trust. His inspirational words motivated us all as students to keep moving forward in life.

The words that he preached today was "My mission is to help transform disadvantaged youths, and I hope my donation to the Manaiakalani Trust will help these young people gain the skills they need for tomorrow's job market."

We acknowledged that fact the he shared a small portion of his life with us about growing up with  only his mum to raise him and about the fact that music and arts literally saved his life. He told us that his dream was to look after his mother and siblings.

When he told us what his dream was we felt like we could do something with our life. Meeting or hearing him wasn’t just hearing or seeing him as a celebrity but we got to hear and see him as a person who motivated himself to succeed in life.

We came back to school feeling glad we got to be part of something worth remembering, we got to be part of something we could tell our friends with pride and experience.

My Weekly Poem...

Dreams,Dreams,Dreams.

WALT read a poem and analyse the language features of a poem...

Dream Poems.

Take the time often and listen to music

while relaxing or dancing.

You know… the one that speaks to your soul.

Makes you Happy, Inspired,Romantic or Peaceful & Whole

Reflect on the feel Good moments you had,Have…and Dream the life you want to obtain.

Not any negativity,loss or pain.

Feed your soul the with the Love,Light & Positivity it craves…

Your mental and emotional stability it Saves.

1. Summarise the poem you have read in your own words.

• The poem I read this week is about dreams and just to relax and think about music. Listening to music can make you feel happy,Inspired.Romantic or Peaceful and feel complete with who you are.

2. Identify at least 2 different language features in the poem and give examples.

You can identify more than 2 language features.

• One of the language features in this poem is metaphor. Here is an example of this language feature. Peter ate too much. The cotton-wool clouds filled the sky.
• Another language feature in this poem is onomatopoeias. Here is an example of this language feature. Bang,Drip,Roar,Smash,Buzz Buzz,Pop.

3. Evaluate (which means reflect and give your opinion) the author’s purpose for writing this poem - in your answers include the words: inform, entertain, persuade.

By analysing the poem I have read this week I think the author wrote this poem because it’s about people always being depressed so they need to sit back and relax by listening to music.    

• The author was informing the audience about dreaming and to relax in every way.
• The author was entertaining the audience by adding poetic language to keep the audience hooked into his peace of text.
• The author is trying to persuade us to just relax listen to music and just dream about your future.

This is a poem my partners and I have put together to inform you about language features and poetic language for example metaphor,onomatopoeia and also smilies.
