Fall Cinquain Poetry: Awesome Activity for Your Students!

It's Me Again Margaret...

Oh how I love the season fall... and I also LOVE to teach students through poetry! So, I decided to take some beautiful fall scenes and create a packet of poetry for students to create... and publish into a class book upon completion!

Product Description:

Are you working on trying to reinforce nouns, adjectives, facts versus opinion phrases, and synonyms? Is it necessary in your classroom to scaffold instruction in terms of rigor level? If so, this packet is for you and your classroom. This packet contains ten absolutely gorgeous fall scenes from which students can create cinquains. After each fall scene is cinquain pattern one, two, or three. Pattern one tends to be less difficult, patten two follows a parts of speech pattern, while pattern three focuses on syllables. This poetry packet on cinquains is great for whole group instruction, small group instruction, as well as in a poetry center. Students will be very proud of their poetry they create. Upon completion, publish a book of cinquains for fall. The beautiful, fall scences serve as a springboard students’ thinking and constructing. Students might also take the opportunity to recite their poetry to the class and focus on their speaking and listening skills!

  1. I love helping kids write cinquains and other recipe type poetry. They are always so proud of the finished product and they make great keepsakes!
