Topic: Writing Poetry

10-second review: Introduce children to writing poetry by using patterns, including free verse, Haiku, cinquain, the diamante septolet, quinzaine, quintain.

Comment: I used the cinquain to illustrate the writing process to students, including older students, and even to the public and school board members. I will explain in my next blog. RayS.
