Activities to develop
Step 1: Reading
Go to the Knowledge Environment and carefully read all the references
for Chapter 1. Poetry
Step 2: Haiku
Create and post in the forum for Task 3 your own Haiku including the
following features:
1. Use as inspiration topic: Section II - Poetry. In The Edinburgh
Introduction to Studying English Literature (pp. 37-98).
2. Write only three lines, totaling 17 syllables.
a. The first line is 5 syllables.
b. The second line is 7 syllables.
c. The third line is 5 syllables.
3. A haiku does not have to rhyme, in fact usually it does not
rhyme at all.
Step 3: Feedback
Give meaningful feedback about one of your partners’ contributions.
Check for Syllabication Rules, typos, the inspiration topic, etc.
Step 4: Flipbook
Work with your group to organize all your Haikus in one Flipbook. Use
any available tool to create, share and embed your Haikus into an
online flipping book. For such flipbook design, the group should
incorporate:
a. Prioritize the esthetics: You must allow the eye to feel
comfortable. The rules of composition apply at this point; lead
the eye in, break up the page into a grid. You can utilize
templates, pick a template style and incorporate it throughout
the publication. To diversify the content, you can juxtaposition
the images and text on alternate pages, the base grid
underneath will remain constant, hence allowing your design to
flow. This brings familiarity to the publication – thus creating
trust and ease within the reader.
b. Color coordinating: Pick a pallet and remain loyal to a few colors.
 Structured this way and all the colors will not be vying for
attention at one time – which is a downside of trying to use too
many ‘strong’ colors in the one publication.
c. White space: Minimalism is in! Strive for order and tidiness over
clutter and overcrowding.
d. Image & photo selection: You are the art director! Be a good
editor, if images are pixilated or low resolution leave them out.
The best-designed publication will fall at the first hurdle if this is
not observed; there is nothing worse than leafing through a
well-designed piece and coming across a poor image.
