Nakama Ch. 8 and 9  はる（Spring)　か　（Or)    ヴァレンタインの俳句（はいく）を書く。

Some directions for writing haiku:

1^st line, 5 syllables                 2^nd line, 7 syllable                 3^rd line, 5 syllables

Include a seasonal reference:  in February those might be (in Japan) plum blossoms (うめ　の　はな),  melting snow (雪　ゆき), early spring　（春　はる）, south wind (みなみ　かぜ), ice vanishing, Valentine’s Day,　（心　heart），（愛　あい）deep love，（恋　こ い）   more earthly love.

　

On the back of this page, try to write 2 haiku appropriate to the season.  You may write both in English, both in Japanese, or one in each language.  In Japanese, avoid relational particles and  desu. The Japanese version and English version don’t have to be translations of each other. In English, avoid the, a, very, lots, etc.  

Decorate with appropriate images in color, if you can.

Example (byキメル先生 , not necessarily good in either language):

Ice has disappeared               　　　　　　　こおり   ない                             

Old plum trees begin to bloom                            うめ　の　はな　さく

All because of love                                                  恋　の　ため
