:)hello
this is one of the poetry exercises i have given to my students in my poetry class as i thought of giving them simple and fun poetry activity yet challenging as well...
about writing cinquain (pronounced as "sin-cane")
a cinquain is a five-line poem which follows three patterns:
pattern 1:
line 1 -one word
line 2 -two words
line 3 -three words
line 4 -four words
line 5 -one word
pattern 2
line 1 -a noun
line 2 -two adjectives
line 3 -three -ing words
line 4 -a phrase
line 5 -another word for the noun
pattern 3
line 1 -two syllables
line 2 -four syllables
line 3 - six syllables
line 4 -eight syllables
line 5 -two syllables
i asked my students to write 3 examples of cinquain,following the three patterns and topic should be related to Christmas
...and here are the best outputs i got:
