The “hook” or Introduction:

The “Hook” for this lesson is a short video clip from an episode of the children’s animated show, Avatar: The Last Airbender.
In the clip, one of the characters accidentally wanders into a poetry class and ends up in a Haiku battle against the instructor.
It’s a silly, playful clip that is a great way to introduce students to the format.

Process:

This specific assignment will be fully asynchronous/online. Students will begin with instructional material, followed by a
formal formative assessment. Then they will demonstrate their understanding through the creation of a haiku, and a
worksheet covering both the process and final result will be submitted as a summative assessment.

● Working computer/smart device with an internet connection

● Nearpod
● Youtube
