Graffiti On The Fence
Cinquains
|
One day recently
when our teacher Adrian is away sick, or doing some computer
stuff, our replacement teacher Minh came in and taught us
how to write cinquains.
Cinquains are five lined poems and Minh asked us to write
our poetry based on the novel we were reading at the time
called 'Graffiti on the Fence'.
NB You can read a our review of this
novel here

Here is the structure Minh gave us to help us write cinquains.
|
Line
1 - one
word to name the subject.
|
Hellz
|
|
Line
2 - two
words to describe the subject.
|
Two friends
|
|
Line
3 - three
words to describe the subject.
|
Naughty, cheeky, spoilt
|
|
Line
4 - :a
four or five word phrase describing the
subject (a thought and not a complete sentence).
|
Does not care much
|
|
Line
5 - one
word that means the same thing
as the first word, or a word that sums it all up.

Here are some of our examples that we produced on the
day.

noisy, fast
biking, crashing, riding
heavy helmet, wind in your face

heavy spray can in his pocket

Pretty then trampled
