Haiku Writing
Writing haiku involves expressing feelings, providing comparisons that create ideas and meaning, and bringing nature into the heart and mind of writer and reader. Haiku writing is a language experience that helps one condense ideas, expand vocabulary, and learn syllabication. Pellegrino has studied Japanese literature in Japan. Besides having taught Japanese literature at the college level, he has authored A Slip of Bamboo: A Collection of Haiku from Maui. He will share some of his poems as well as several haiku by famous Japanese writers. You will have an opportunity to pen some haiku during this session. When you complete this session, you will have a handle on haiku and be able to incorporate haiku writing into your curriculum. And if you're anything like Pellegrino, you may become obsessed by the haiku and never stop writing them yourself.


Getting the Paragraph Right: First Steps to Better Compositions
Students need to know everything about paragraph writing. It is the basis of creating the larger form of prose, the composition. It is surprising how we know so little about paragraphs, yet they are the building blocks of thought and organization. Pellegrino will cover several paragraph structures that can be used immediately with your students. Pellegrino's second best-seller in his writer's guide series is A Writer's Guide to Powerful Paragraphs. This book explains everything a writer needs to know about paragraph writing. Thirty different paragraph structures are explained, examples are provided, and suggestions for writing are included. Pellegrino frequently gets asked, "Thirty? I never knew there were so many kinds of paragraphs!"
