Cinquains

Description: This week we have been learning how to write a cinquain. We had to write a cinquain and post it on our blog. In the first line of a cinquain it will have two syllablesband link with the last line.
The second line has 4 syllables and have to be describing words. The third line has 6 syllables and there has to be 3 words that end in ing. The second to last line describes something you do with 8 syllables in it and 4 words. The last line technically gives the reader what your thing your writing about is. Here are the rest of the cinquins 
Boots & Balls

Score Goals
Slippery, Slidy
Shooting, Tackling, Passing
Sweating, then the whistle
Football 



Feedback/Feedforward: I Recon you stuck to the guide lines really well but next time you could use some punctuation. #Lachlan/Loki

Free Verse Poetry

I see,
I see,
I see,
He comes faster and faster and faster,
The line moves slower, 
slower,
slower,
slower,
It's now my turn,
I ask some questions,
and some,
some more,
and some more,
I hear him say,
do you like cricket,
it's time to go,
no,
no,
no,
We drive away
far,
far away,
I talk with my friend,
about my idol, Brendon McCullum.
we get home,
really,
really late. It was all worth it. 
The photo of us is my memory of that day

Reflection: I think I used a few senses but next time I could use what I smelt. But I couldn't taste anything. I think I painted an OK picture in the readers head. Next time I could add some similes

Self Agent Wall

We chose our goal today and I chose self directed. My goal in self directed is to be a positive role model to other people. When you are a role model you are a person to look up to. You have to always meet your requirements.
