Meghan’s Blog



LATE blog post about L.A/Tuesday the 11th of Dec. 2006

Yesterday in L.A we talked about the test we took on Monday, and talked about Tanka’s which are an old Chinese/Japanese way of poetry. Our homework/classwork was to pick an old holiday card from Mrs.E’s bucket and write a tanka about it. We are going to send our Tanka’s to our Pen Pals in Italy. Below is a example of a tanka. Please don’t use because it is part of my homework!!!
Forever Friends

5 syllables: Enjoying the view

7 Syllables: Walking side by side

5 syllables: Magic’s in the air

7 syllables: A friend is everything

7 syllables: Expecally when there’s snow.
