Write a Cinquain

My graphic organizer on the whiteboard.

Wikipedia indicates that a cinquain is a poetic form that uses a 5-line pattern. There are different variations of the form, but we worked with the following structure:

Line 1: 2
Line 2: 4
Line 3: 6
Line 4: 8
Line 5: 2

Each line should include the number of syllables or, if that proved too difficult, words to include in each line. For an added twist, we added lines in reverse order to create a butterfly cinquain:

Line 1: 2
Line 2: 4
Line 3: 6
Line 4: 8
Line 5: 2
Line 6: 8
Line 7: 6
Line 8: 4
Line 9: 2

The explanation might not be clear, but, perhaps, by looking at what we made, it might become clearer.

Students

Students

Who work harder

Always get a good grade

But it depends on how they work

Teachers

Who always have time for students

To make them understand

Everything that

They say

Two Cinquains

her story

swallowed up whole collections

of stories words and other stuff

she just made everything her own little world

she did

and she made up her mind to return

none of it to its owner

she swallowed it all

and laughed

Students

& teachers learn

from each other often;

however, they don't often know

the time

it takes to realize the truth

or how much time it takes

or what it's worth

or not.

I Am...

Club members moved around the LAS Building and found an object. Then they wrote about how that object sees the world. As an added challenge, students took a picture of the object.

People see me and they are confused because of the way that I look.

People see me and they are confused because of the way that I look.

They watch me differently when they pass by me.

They do not know what I am doing here or where I come from, that is a sign of how they hate me. they do not even bother to know my background.

All of the things that people say about me does not matter that is who I am and I know from where I come from.

It is something unique that only people who have a creative mind and thinking follow me and that is because they do not care about the shapes and flaws that I have.

sometimes

you look at me and see your reflection
or you see what's on the other side

i let the sun in during the day
the moon at night

nothing else may pass
unless i am broken

Write an Alternative Recipe

Write your alternative recipe--not a recipe for food, but for something else.

Recipe for Inner Peace

1. A cup of wonder.
2. A sea of admiration to people in your life. 
3. A life long commitment to loving your self.
4. A mountain of delightful food.
5. A spoon full of kindness. 
6. A sprinkle of hope.
7. The greatest amount of gratefulness.
8. self confidence.

Add a cup of kindness to admiration you should mix them first then be generous with the other ingredients. Be careful not to spill any ego while poring self confidence. If it is not sweet enough add a sprinkle of hope.
