Prewriting: Form of Writing • Form of Writing: • A cinquain poem is a five-line poem that describes either a person, a place or a thing. In this poem, specific lines are designated for a certain number of words and a certain type of word. Below is an overview of what should be included. • First line includes one word that is the subject of the poem • Second line includes two words that describe the subject • Third line includes three action words that the subject does (-ing words) • Fourth line includes a phrase that includes something else that describes the subject • Fifth line includes one or two words that rename what the poem is about (synonyms)
Prewriting • Stage of Writing: • This is the stage of writing that helps you organize your thoughts and gets you ready to write! During the prewriting stage, we think about four key components. These include form, purpose, audience, and topic. Our form is a cinquain poem. Our purpose is to entertain, and the audience is our classmates. In order to write a cinquain poem, we need to find a topic that we want to write about, and then sort out our thoughts so our poem makes sense.

Prewriting: Practice Activity The students will use the graphic organizer to create a cinquain poem. The teacher and students will work together to create the poem on the given topic. For each line of the poem, the students and teacher will brainstorm together to pick the perfect words and phrases. The topic is summertime. The teacher will have a copy of the graphic organizer on the computer, and the students would each have a copy of the graphic organizer. As the teacher discusses each line and writes in what the students’ say, the students will write the information on to their own graphic organizers.
Prewriting: Assessment activity To assess the students during the prewriting process, students will draw a topic from a bowl. The bowl will include words of all types but words that the students are familiar with. The students are to fill in the blanks of the graphic organizer on their own. If the student completes the poem using the correct words for that particular line, they have completed this assignment.

Drafting: Stage of Writing • Stage of Writing: • This stage of writing is where you get your ideas down on paper. You use the ideas that you created in your prewriting, to figure out what you are going to write about. The ideas are in written form, not focusing on the mechanics of the actual poem.

Drafting: Practice Activity • As a guided practice activity, students will create a cinquain poem with a partner. A different topic will be given to each group of students. The topics will be related to a specific subject area that is being discussed in class. The students will be told what type of word goes on each line and then they will use their own words to create their own poem. Remind students that they are just coming up with the words, not focusing on the mechanics of the poem. • The teacher will go one line at a time, giving the students the guidelines and then allowing the student to discuss with their partner possible words, then finish that line before moving on to the next. • Once the students are finished with their poems, they are to share them with the others. This will allow the students to see that even if they are using the same topic as others, all the poems will be different.
Drafting: Assessment activity • To assess the students during the drafting process, students will draw a topic from a bowl. The bowl will include words of all types but words that the students are familiar with. • The students are to simply come up with words for each line, as they did with their partner. • If the student completes the poem using the correct words for that particular line, they have completed this assignment.
