Learning Log 1

  I have learnt Cinquain , a five-line poem which is slightly different from the poems that we have learnt at sec1. The poems that we have learnt in sec1 have rhyme scheme while cinquains do not have which make it more easier.But there are disadvantages such as word limit of 11 words and we must have title, description, action, feeling and reflection on title. But overall, I still prefer Cinquain to the poems we learnt in sec1. I felt that learning Cinquain is meaningful as you can express even more of your thoughts. The Cinquain lesson  is fun, as we make these poems through our creativity. Mrs Woo divided us into groups  of five or six. Our group chose the topic on Toilet bow, it was very hilarious. This gave us an opportunity for us to interact with each other.This needs teamwork, as despite it is easier than poems we learnt in sec1.  We still need a wide range of creative ideas. I suggest improvement such as talking about our founding fathers, like Mr Lee Kuan Yew and about Singapore and give more examples of Cinquain.
 The Cinquain format:
  1. title(1 word)
  2. description of poem(2 words)
  3. actions(three words)
  4. feeling(four words)
  5. use a word to describe the title
