David's Father

This is the cinquain format we used for our poems.

Line 1 is one word (the title)

Line 2 is two words that describe the title

Line 3 is three words that tell action

Line 4 is four words that express feeling

Line 5 is one word that recalls the title

After reading David's Father, we brainstormed a list of describing words and a list of action words that described the giant. These lists served as a bank of words that the students could access for their own cinquain poems.

We hope you enjoy reading our GIANT poems!
