Learning Log 1

During our previous literature lesson we learnt an unknown and new type of poem called the cinquin.A cinquin is a five line poem.The specialty of this poem is that each line of it follows a rule.The rules are ....
                             Line 1 (title which consists of a word)
                             Line 2 (description of the poem which has two words)
                             Line 3 (describing action which has three words)
                             Line 4 (feeling which has four words)
                             Line 5(Use a word to describe the title)
 After Mrs Woo taught all about cinquins an some examples, we were divided into groups of five to create our own  cinquain .  We chose the topic ICE CREAM.Although a cinquain seems really easy to write, in reality it is quite difficult to create one as one needs a wide range of vocabulary to write one.Only the most talented one can write a perfect one.We felt that it was very fun writing a cinquin.I would want to learn how to write different types of  poems.
