A terrific idea is to have a child record their haiku and then illustrate it in a software program. I have done just that with several elementary classes and the results are wonderful. Each child is excited to see his/her illustration and hear their haiku. This is a way for parents to hear a recording of their child's voice. We have so many papers of what our children have done in school, but probably not many audio samples.
I am not sure that teachers can teach children well enough what haiku is all about. Firstly, there is the translation of the form from Japanese to English and I'm not sure I quite get it.
Haiku has such specific guides - traditional or new English forms. I am still wrestling with putting images on - but like to include my inspiration.
challenge: Since two of you find pansies less friendly, can you write a haiku about that?! I shall try. Great to have kids read what they write. BTW. Excellent pedagogy.

I love this one.
I can only ever see angry faces in pansies!
The 'smiling faces' are nice but I always think pansies are frowning at me, somewhat like Rachel's idea!
Interesting points of view!
