This week in Writing we have been learning how to write cinquain, a type of poetry invented in the United States over a hundred years ago. It is similar to the Japanese haiku but has a style all of its own.
A cinquain (pronounced sin-cane) is poem that tells a short story in 5 lines. It has a special syllable pattern of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 2. It can rhyme but it doesn't have to!
Check out all of the cinquains from our class of Year 7 & 8 students - see if the syllable pattern is correct in each poem!
