Abstract

Although most Americans know about haiku, another East Asian form of poetry is less widely shared in American classrooms: Korea’s sijo. Sijo poems are longer than haiku (with 44-46 syllables) and by incorporating sijo into the curriculum, teachers can expose students to a new form of poetry and expand their knowledge of East Asian culture. This article provides teachers with the tools and resources needed to teach sijo.
