And we're back with another round of puzzling poetry!

The Haiclue is a haiku written by one of our most poetically-inclined team members (hi Alex!) and featuring the voice of the esteemed Addison Anderson. It contains three lines, each of which is a clue that hints at the subject of one of this month's upcoming lessons. 

Try to guess all three lesson topics, and post your guesses in the comments! (You guys are getting better and better!)

Based off the feedback, I'm guessing HaiClue #1 has something to do with the hive mind? Or something related to herd/group-like communication? #2 is going to be a TedEd recommended read. I can tell :P #3 I'll wait for the video lesson to tell me what this is :D

#1 Swarm intelligence, i.e. collective behavior of decentralized, self-organized systems, organisms or networks (such as bats, drones, fish and roads) #2 Something to do with "The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby", a novel by Charles Dickens. Perhaps it is about the topic of schools being mismanaged or run improperly, or about the topic of improper disciplining of children (and abuse of children) in schools. #3 Something to do with Histories of Herodotus and/or the foundation of the subject of History. #2 and #3 seem like very direct references to specific literature, but I don't know if they are just simply about those books or something more than that.
