Haiku


As extra credit on the finals for Marine Science and AP Bio, I asked my students to write some haiku. Here are some favorites.

Dr. Reilly's beard
Sometimes longer than his hair
and that makes me laugh.

-SG

Nondisjunction.Wow.
That is a really big word.
Makes me feel smarter.

-SG

The final I took
In AP Biology
was quite difficult.

-SR

Phosphorylation,
I never understood you.
Someday, I hope to.

-KA

Nature
Green leaves make the trees bright.
Funny to think that green is
being rejected.

-MB

Mendel-wrinkled, smooth
peas made him Father of Genes.
Better than a priest.

-KK

Biology hurts
my brain- overflowing with
terms, details, and angst.

-KK

Green anemone
sand covered ball unfurls to
show its artful inside.

-CR

The vikings traveled,
Christopher Columbus, too.
I wish I knew more
of what I studied.

-LE


That about sums up the semester. More later...
