This session, our Instructor Lisa Gray has been working with Oakland Charter Academy 6th and 7th grade students. They explored the history and forms of haiku and then created their own:
Cello
To admire is
Express myself playing it
No stress or anger.

No Stopping
I will not give up
I will not stop no matter what
I will get better.

Apocalypse
Fire burning across land
People fleeing homes flaming
World dying people,

Pizza
Eating food, good pizza
His mom made with delicious
sauce and good meat.
