**The Haiku Challenge**
Haiku is a type of Japanese poetry. Haiku are short poems that usually describe nature and a fleeting moment in time.
 * an old pond— **
 * the sound of a frog jumping **
 * into water **

Haiku often have a total of **17 syllables** and usually have three lines:

 1 The first line has **five** syllables,

 2 The second line has **seven** syllables,

 3 The third line has **five** syllables.

**The first two lines of a Haiku are brief observations about the subject of the poem. There is an obvious pause either after line 1 or 2. Then, in the final line, the perspective or voice of the poem shifts, and a comment about the essence of the topic is offered, a point is made, and the heart of the reader is touched.**


 * Haiku, a poem, **
 * Five, seven, five syllables. **
 * Life frozen in words. **

Writing haiku is a powerful way of focusing on a concept and it’s meaning, using words to create images or to tell very brief stories. Students all over the world, from preschools in Japan to MIT graduate students use it as a learning tool.

 Watch the videos about cell communication / membrane transport below.  Then choose one to write a Haiku about. Use the checklist below to guide you. Write your Haiku in Word, and then paste your Haiku to the page for the video you chose. Be sure your Haiku is in color and signed with your first name, last initial, and class period. 1. Is the Haiku 3 lines?  2. Does the Haiku contain 5 syllables in the first line?  3. Does the Haiku have 7 syllables in the second line?  4. Does the Haiku have 5 syllables in the third line? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> 5. Is the biological subject obvious? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> 6. Does the Haiku contain a pause after the first or second line? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> 7. Does the Haiku bring to mind an image and is not merely a statement of fact? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> 8. Does the Haiku involve humor or irony (as the best Haiku poems will)?

Nerve Cells
- use active transport, passive transport, endocytosis, and exocytosis when sending a signal.
