7. DETERMINE WHAT YOU NEED TO WORK ON….. USE THIS CLASS TIME TO WRITE AND REVISE HAIKU REVISION TIPS: Don’t waste a haiku syllable. Don’t let yourself “fill up” the syllables. Use each syllable wisely. Each line in a haiku should contain imagery A haiku is like a zoomed in snap shot, not a wide angle shot that tells an entire story or a video. CONCRETE ABSTRACTS: Double check to make sure you didn’t describe an abstract with an abstract. Develop your similes with specific descriptions. Replace words like “red” with “the softly worn red of Dad’s old pickup”
