Cinquain Poem

Students were introduced to cinquain with the explanation:

Cinquain poems have five lines that follow a very definite order:

One noun
Two describing words for noun
Three describing words for noun
Four describing words for noun
One noun
(same as first noun)

Students then practiced as the teacher called out a noun and then called on several students to give adjectives to describe that noun.

The students were then shown the poetry template for this poem and we completed a practice poem together on the SMARTBoard. 

Next, the students opened their templates and began writing their poems on the computer. 

When they completed their poem, they could select a clip art graphic to add to their poem.

Please feel free to use these templates with your students as you would like.
