Columbus Day Poetry Unit: Have fun with poetry as you teach your students to write a haiku about Columbus Day using this resource complete with four different craftivities to display the final haiku.
This set includes a color and black and white version of a Christopher Columbus craftivity, a telescope craftivity, a ship craftivity, and a Columbus day frame craftivity where your students will write the haiku poems. These will make a great bulletin board.
You'll also love the teaching help. You'll find four graphic organizers, an informational sheet on how to write a haiku, a showing words exercise, a dictionary activity, and a thesaurus activity that all help your students learn to write a haiku.
