Cinquain is a special poem that consists of 5 lines. The time of its origin is considered to be the twentieth century, and its place is America. The main factor that influenced the formation of such verse is Japanese poetic creativity, whose popularity at that time was very wide. It is not surprising that they learned about syncwine both in Russia and throughout the world. It turned out that this is a fairly effective method that promotes the development of figurative speech. It is known that such five-line poems were also composed on didactic topics.
The “pioneer” in the field of composing the classic cinquain was the poetess Adelaide Crapsey, who was also the inventor of this bizarre verse. As already mentioned, the basis for its creation were Japanese motifs. In 1914, Adelaide's syncwines were included in a collection of poems published after her death.
To compose a verse of this modification, you do not need to have any special skills. This is, first of all, free creativity, and in order to write a syncwine, you need to find the most basic elements of this information, and then draw a brief conclusion in a clear, concise form. Today at school curriculum The practice of syncwines is widespread. They are a good way to summarize the material studied in a literature lesson. As for other disciplines, this is an excellent exercise that replaces banal final assignments for generalizing and systematizing program material.
It is very simple to compose a syncwine for both students and adults, and, by the way, this feature makes it the shortest and most effective way to general development child, which contributes to the rapid formation of analytical abilities. The introduction of this type of work into school practice is also due to the fact that it takes much less time, but gives much more results. Thus, the material is absorbed faster and better, which is not possible with regular school essays.
Another advantage of syncwine over standard exercises is that it has a more strict framework, which allows you to express ideas clearly, concisely and concisely. And in order for the explanation to meet all these criteria, the student uses the entire arsenal of intellectual and creative abilities, ingenuity and, of course, imagination.
How to make Sinkwine
Sinquains, in turn, are classified into 2 subspecies:
- traditional, which also has several modifications:
- back;
- mirror;
- cinquain butterfly and others.
- didactic.
The traditional one is based on the syllabic principle. It consists in the fact that the number of syllables in 5 lines of syncwine should be equal to 22.
The didactic syncwine is based on a semantic principle. Its diagram looks something like this:
- 1st line – the theme of the syncwine, expressed in 1 word (the name of the object, which will be discussed further);
- Line 2 - 2 words that characterize the object;
- Line 3 – 3 words describing the actions performed by the object;
- Line 4 – 4 words that make up a phrase, the semantics of which should reflect the author’s attitude towards the object;
- 5 - 1 word, a kind of summary-characteristic of the described object.
Examples of Synquains
Here is an example of a didactic syncwine:
Sun
Winter, unfaithful
Hiding, hunting, shooting
And only Man does not see
Sight.
The curriculum today is strikingly different from previous ones and every year it acquires new features. All these innovations sometimes amaze the parents of modern schoolchildren. But, if high school students at least independently master the new standards, then parents of primary school students have nowhere to go: they get used to the requirements together with their children, sometimes mastering them in practice.
One of these innovations was the writing of syncwines. An obscure word with a French flair forced moms and dads to activate their literary abilities while doing homework, but writing syncwines is often asked in class lessons. Therefore, one way or another, you need to explain to your child how to write a syncwine, and at the same time comprehend this poetic form yourself. Fortunately, writing syncwines is not as difficult a job as it might seem. Upon closer examination, it turns out that this is quite logical and therefore accessible to understanding and mastery.
What is syncwine? Shape and features of syncwine
Cinquain is the name of a form of poetry, and (at this point it’s easy to imagine the relieved sigh of schoolchildren and their relatives) which does not imply the presence of rhyme. It was invented by the American poet Adelaide Crapsey, who was passionate about Japanese tanka and haiku poetry. And, apparently, in order to complete the internationality of her brainchild, she named the literary form in the French manner: cinquain, that is, consisting of five elements. These five elements, as you might guess, are lines - in syncwine there are actually exactly five of them, and each carries a specific function and semantic load. True, the classic syncwine is slightly different from the didactic syncwine used in speech development lessons:
- Classic syncwine implies strict adherence not only to the number of lines, but also to the syllables in them. The 22 syllables of the classic syncwine are distributed along the lines according to the pattern: 2-4-6-8-2. Based on it, poets have created several variations, each of which plays on the rules of creating a syncwine in its own way: reverse syncwine, mirror syncwine, butterfly cinquain, crown of syncwine and even a garland of syncwine. These literary games concern the number of syllables, their combination and the form of stanzas, but retain the basic principle of five lines.
- Didactic syncwine was invented by American teachers, and in the late 1990s it appeared in our school curriculum. Unlike a traditional poetic work, in a didactic cinquain the form is less important than the content. Therefore, maintaining the number of syllables and words in lines is not necessary. The main thing is that five lines contain a figurative description of an object or phenomenon, the theme of the poem.
- In the first line, one word indicates the theme of the syncwine - it can be any subject/object/phenomenon named in one word. You can use a noun or pronoun., contains a single word (usually a noun or pronoun) that designates the object or thing that is being discussed.
- The second line already describes in a nutshell the topic outlined in the previous line. A simple description of the actual properties of the object is sufficient, for which adjectives and/or participles can be used.
- The third line talks about the abilities that the object from the first line has - the actions that it performs. Three words are used: verbs and/or gerunds, but more words can be used if necessary.
- In the fourth line, the author no longer expresses an objective perception of the topic, but his subjective attitude towards it. Ideally, it should be fit into four words - the most difficult and most interesting part of any syncwine.
- In the fifth line, only one word is written again, summing up - this is a certain conclusion that is drawn from all the information in the previous four lines and laconically expresses the essence of the topic, as if closing it and looping the meaning of the text.
Rules for compiling a syncven: instructions
Most teachers admit that soon after their first acquaintance with a new form of assignments, schoolchildren overcome uncertainty in the face of unfamiliar requirements and perceive syncwines literally “with a bang,” receiving not only benefit from their preparation, but also pleasure. To make writing syncwine easier, select interesting topic- one that arouses sincere enthusiasm in the child. You can combine business with pleasure and use a character from your favorite book or cartoon as this. The child definitely knows enough about it, and besides, there will be no problems with it. own attitude to the object. Over time, when the basic principle is understood and writing a syncwine becomes easier, it will be possible to use other topics assigned by the teacher. In the meantime, learn to write syncwine line by line like this:
- Line No. 1: Write one word that will be both the theme and title of the piece. For example: Batman.
- Line No. 2: Write two words describing the character. For example: Strong and brave.
- Line No. 3: Write three verbs that convey the character's activities. For example: Helps, saves, fights evil. Please note that here, instead of the third verb, a phrase is used that is quite suitable in meaning - which is a priority when composing a didactic syncwine. Therefore, do not limit your imagination for the sake of formality.
- Line No. 4: Write what emotions and feelings the character evokes. For example: I want to be like him. Sometimes it is convenient to use as the fourth line stable expression, phraseological unit. For example, in this case, the aphorism “The city takes courage” is suitable. Most likely, the teacher will appreciate the student's knowledge of popular expressions.
- Line No. 5: Write one word that matches the topic and your attitude towards it. How would you describe the character? For example: Hero.
Strong and brave.
Helps, saves, fights evil.
I want to be like him.
Well, show me a boy who won’t get carried away by composing such a text?! For girls, you can take the cinquain theme as Disney princesses, favorite actresses, sweets, etc. The main thing is that the child expresses his own Creative skills and found ideas and words on my own. At the same time, syncwine makes it possible to develop other related skills: explaining your thoughts to others, defending your point of view, finding compromises and working collectively. These abilities can be useful if writing a syncwine is difficult for a child at first. Then you can, together with an adult or another child, try a different way of completing the task. Let everyone write their own syncwine on the same topic, and then show their work to their partner. Together they will choose the most successful lines from each and compose a new one from them, total product. In the process of such creativity, horizons broaden, ideas and opinions are exchanged, which is also very important for the development of speech and analytical abilities in children. But this alone is not enough to enable new uniform work in the training program. Synquains bring much more benefits to all participants in the educational process.
Why do you need syncwine?
Both literary critics and teachers agree on one thing: syncwine is a manifestation of creative self-expression and reveals not only the artistic potential of the writer and the theme of the work itself, but also gradually makes it possible to understand the poet’s attitude to what he writes about. It was this aspect that interested teachers so much that it prompted them to include the creation of syncwines in the school curriculum. Sinkwine as a teaching tool turned out to be a really very convenient way both for mastering and testing the linguistic abilities and knowledge of students junior classes. And it has taken root in the school curriculum thanks to a combination of such functions:
- development of imaginative thinking;
- expansion of vocabulary;
- acquiring the skill of analyzing complex information;
- acquiring the skill of identifying the main thing from the mass of information;
- development of the ability to formulate and draw conclusions;
- for the teacher to assess the student’s vocabulary and knowledge.
