Learning Log 1

A cinquain is a five-line poem in which the word is derived from the French word cinq, which means five. Each line of a cinquain follow a rule and you can choose whatever topic you like to write about. For line 1, we are suppose to write a title of only one word. In line 2, it requires us to write the description of the topic chosen by using two words and a comma is needed in between the words. For line 3, the action of the topic should be written by using three words and the three words should end with an 'ing' with a comma in between each of them. In line 4, we are suppose to write about our feelings of the topic with four words. Finally, for the fifth line, a one word reflection of the title is to be written.
From the lesson, I have learn that in order to write a good cinquain, a lot of concentration is needed in order to do so and a lot of thinking is needed at the same time. I think that there should be more lessons about cinquain so that everyone can have a better understanding of the topic.
