A cinquain poem, also referred to as a five-line stanza, is a form of syllabic
verse, which means that the form is built on the number of syllables. The five
lines of the poem have 2, 4, 6, 8, and 2 syllables.
(Fountas and Pinnell. Copyright 2001.)


Connection to 3-blocks:
I would use this poem during language and word study.
Connection to skill, strategy, or idea:
I would use it to teach students an understanding of syllables in a sentence.
Having students write with a restricted number of syllables can help them with
getting the main idea across using less words. This can be used as a reference
for students to refer to when writing.

This is a site for students to see examples of three different formats of cinquain
poems.

This is a site teachers can use for planning when doing cinquain poems in the
classroom. It provides examples and structures how to use it as a lesson.
   Kitty sees a mouse
   Kitty wants the mouse badly
     She will get that mouse!
Style of poetry that originated in Japan. It uses simple language, may contain no
rhyme, and rarely includes metaphor. It has a syllable structure of 5, 7, 5 equaling 3
lines.
(Fountas and Pinnell. Copyright 2001.)


Connection to 3-blocks:
I would use this poem during writing workshop.
Connection to skill, strategy, or idea:
I would use it to teach students points of view and how people view things completely
different sometimes. This can be used as a smaller form of poetry for expressing their
perception of a story using main points. After discussion of what a Haiku poem is
teacher can pass out pictures to students and give them a time frame to write their
own Haiku poem of the picture. The students can then compare and contrast their
poems with one another.

Poetry that is a word written vertically with a descriptive word or phrase going
horizontally. Acrostic poetry isn’t about rhyme or verse. Each line is made up of 1 or 2
words or a short sentence/phrase.

Connection to 3-blocks:
I would use this poem during writing workshop.
Connection to skill, strategy or idea:
I would use it for activating prior knowledge. Students would provide their
experience/prior knowledge of the topic through large group discussion. Giving students
a topic they are familiar with and having them explain it on their own expands their
knowledge. Students can choose a word based on a topic the teacher has introduced
and write their poem using prior knowledge of the topic.

   My Silly Kitty
   She runs in circles chasing her tail.
   She drinks from the faucet.
   She plays fetch with a jack.
   She gets her own treats from a bag.
   She rubs her face on my face.
   She sleeps with her head upside
    down.
   She goes bonkers for wet cat food.
A list poem, also called a “catalogue” poem, may be rhymed or unrhymed, short or long. It
may list objects, a series of events, specific characteristics, or any other set of items.
(Fountas and Pinnell. Copyright 2001.)


Connection to 3-blocks:
I would use this poem during readers workshop.
Connection to skill, strategy or idea:
I would use it to teach children different forms of poetry, discussing how poems don’t
always have to rhyme and that they can be in list form explaining something that is funny
or silly to them. Students can discuss things they think their animal does that is funny. The
teacher can ask students to give her one word or short phrase that they will write a list
poem together as a group. The teacher models what writers do for writing this poetry.

a blog site for teachers to read.
There once was a kitty with no name,
whose owner was the one to blame.
She ran out the front door,
which she had done before.
All because she was a kitty, not one in the same.
Poems that are structured in five lines. The first and second lines rhyme, as do the third and
fourth lines. The fifth lines yields a surprise ending or humorous statements and rhymes
with the first two lines.
(Fountas and Pinnell, Copyright 2001).


Connection to 3-blocks:
I would use this poem during readers workshop.
Connection to skills, strategy or idea:
I would use it to teach students cause and effect using more then one sentence to identify
it. It can be used for students to read through to identify the cause and effect for modified
instruction while others might be reading more lengthy text. The first part of the poem could
be taken out for students to guess what they think the cause is.
