This week we have been learning about writing cinquains. We have done an amazing job at learning how to write them and giving it a go. When you write a cinquain you have to follow the order of how to write it.
A cinquain is written like this:
First line - 2 syllables
Second line - 4 syllables
Third line - 6 syllables
Fourth line - 8 syllables
Fifth line - 2 syllables
Here are a selection of the cinquains we wrote.
Night comes
the waves crash in
the lighthouse guides boats in
the sun we see is going down
Good night
Teowai
Lighthouse
there is a light
I can see that rough waves
the sun we see is going up
hello
Persia
Lighthouse
that guides people
it flashes on and off
the sun is going down ready for night
good night
Niwa
A light
from the lighthouse
that is a guiding light
for ships that travel through the night

Xavier
Good morning
waves are coming
darkness is coming down now
the sun we see is going down

Savanna
Night time
the light goes on
the light sparkles like diamonds
the light guides boats into the shore

Don't snatch!

Friends forever
Fighting over the ball
Small dogs are playing with a ball

I'm impressed how you counted the syllables to help choose words for your cinquains. I like the powerful verbs "crash", "guide", "sparkles", and "snatch" because they help me understand what is happening. Keep up the thoughtful writing!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love the great job you did of your cinquain writing. I like the way you have arranged your words to make your cinquains more interesting such as fighting, playing, running.
