Haikus of Cities Around the World Vol. 1 (2025-2026)

After writing a haiku on their favorite travel destination, the students were instructed to browse the website Drive & Listen and watched live feeds of cities around the world. To challenge their imagination and 5 senses even further, the student now had to write haikus to capture their atmosphere about a place they’ve never been to.

The students train their 5 senses and immediately have to describe little details that move them about the location and capture it for the reader.

Here are some of the highlights:

Crowded streets at night,

Shops close but lights still glowing–

City never sleeps

Rocky mountains bear secrets,

Fearless wild animals roam…
