Haiku – vertical HAIKU

Haiku of four lines (sometimes known as haiqua)^[20] or longer have been written, some of them “vertical haiku” with only a word or two per line. These poems mimic the vertical printed form of Japanese haiku. You can read these from bottom to top or top to bottom!

satisfied after love
he lies
looking up at nothing

Marlene Wills (the old tin roof, 1976)

The highly prolific poet John Martone (b. 1952) specializes in vertical haiku along the lines of the examples above.

How to make an awesome Keynote presentation

Keynote is an awesome way to present your learning. Just like the tips you learned about creating a good visual, there are number of tips to help make yours a good one.

Transitions

• Only use transitions that make sense or add to your message/topic (eg. don’t use flames for something about computers)
• Two maximum (unless you can justify a reason why you need more)

Colour

• Light text on dark background
• Dark text on light background
• Three colours max
• Complimentary colours
• Match colours to your images

Fonts

• Two fonts max (usually one for the title and another for the text)
• Choose fonts that are easy to read
• Font size for titles should be bigger than rest of the text

Images

• Don’t use too many pictures on one slide …unless you have a reason. – Better to have a few large rather than lots of small.
• Use ‘white space’ to emphasis your images
• Use large images as you can make them smaller if you need to.
• If a picture is pixelated DO NOT USE IT
• If a picture is pixelated DO NOT USE IT
• If a picture is pixelated DO NOT USE IT

Last day of G5….

To all of my lovely students who are leaving Elementary School forever: –

You have been a joy to have in the class. On the days when things are not going great, I will think back to this year and you guys and smile, and that will make everything alright again. You have made this year one I will always remember.

Take with you all the skills you have learned this year, and use them even when you are adults. Keep in touch with each other, as the friendships you have made this year (both in class and the rest of G5) are an important part of you now, and these friends will help you when things are not so perfect. I hope you can count me among those friends.

All my best wishes for your future, no matter where your path takes you. I wish all that you would wish for yourselves.
