Respond to the video with a focus on the audio....
Audio in the Classroom: Serving it up with QR codes. Creating your own listening center collection.....
As teachers, we use video in a wide variety of ways but let's not forget the humble audio and how powerful it can be for a variety of instructional purposes. (Podcasts! Just saying.)
Here are but a few ideas.....

Use atmospheric music to set the tone for a read aloud or a writing prompts (e.g., scary stories)
Have audio recording software set up on a station/learning center computer or iPad for students to record themselves telling a story, singing a song, reciting a poem, explaining a concept, process, or information related to the curriculum.
Create a podcast "Week in Review" to update parents on the week's events or activities to keep them in the loop.
Use text to speech software to scaffold understanding of written information for students (e.g. built into Google Slides and Docs, Adobe Acrobat Reader)
Students: Record an approved performance (e.g. singing, skits and plays), Conduct oral histories, Create podcasts.
Teacher tool: Assessment - over time, record children reading to gauge fluency, etc.; Instructional - ELA: kids reading their stories to contribute to digital storytelling, Create a listening center of favoriate stories for your students to read along with, Create podcasts for upper elementary or middle grades students or access existing ones (http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-girl; http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/ )
Using the script you are given, find an existing haiku that you like. Write it down. Basho is a very famous writer of the form.
Next, create one of your own haiku and write your script on the template given.
Once you've got your two haiku, you'll record them as two separate recording/files using one of the two tools listed above and save as an .mp3 file. NOTE: Do not record on your phone as this will give you a format that won't work with Google AND you won't be using a new web 2.0 tool you just learned
DOWNLOAD the files to your Chromebook using the recording tool of your choice
Upload both files into your class Google Drive.
MUST DO: Go to each of the files and right click to share both of these so that with "Anyone with the link" can access.
Go to Google Slides and create your own new slidedeck with two blank slides and name the slidedeck YOUR NAME
Find a CC0 image using a free images website such as: Pixabay, Pexels, Unsplash, Morguefile or you can use one of your own that visually represents your first Haiku (the found one) and insert it on the slide.
Repeat this for the second Haiku (you write) on the second slide
Now from the Insert menu, insert the Audio file from Google Drive that matches your image for your specific Haiki.
Repeat for the second Haiki audio file.
Share the link to your Google Slide deck with your teacher by texting it to her via Remind. REMEMBER: You also must make the Google Slidedeck link sharable with "Anyone with the link"
QR Codes and Google Drive You can use an audio recording tool to record a book or poem for your classroom listening center or you can locate public domain or Creative Commons licensed speeches. NOTE: Make sure to give attribution if required.
Record your book using a digital audio recording tool or locate and download a speech you wish your students to hear.
Test it on your computer to make sure it plays (it won't play in Google Drive if it doesn't play on your computer).
Go to your Google Drive and create a folder called "Audio"using the "New" button on the left
Upload the audio file to this folder (use "New" and "File upload"). Once uploaded, right click on it and choose "Share" to make it shareable with anyone who has the link.
Click the option to "Get shareable link" and then "Copy link" and "Done"
