Cinqains

We're writing Cinqain poems to develop our "human body" vocabulary. We're concentrating on human movement, sports and physical activity. We wrote a poem together on the whiteboard to learn about the form of Cinqains. It's about Mr. Sherratt's favourite sport, Surfing, and here it is:

Surfers Line 1: Subject
Brave, balanced Line 2: Two describing words
Paddling, aiming, controlling Line 3: -ing words about the subject
They tame the wild waves Line 4: A sentence about the subject
Drifters Line 5: Another name for the subject

Look out for Cinquains by the students of 4S!
