What is syncwine? Rules for compiling a syncwine on literature in different classes. Sinkwine. Examples for different subjects

Your child at school was given a homework assignment to compose a syncwine, but you don’t know what it is? We invite you to understand together what syncwine is, what it is used for and how it is compiled? What is its benefit for schoolchildren and teachers? After which we will be able to independently write a short poem on any topic we like.

What is syncwine

A small poem, consisting of only 5 lines, without a clear rhyme, means the word cinquain. The term was first used by the American poet Adelaide Crapsey 100 years ago. While studying Japanese literature, she was so inspired by their haiku that she decided to create a new poetic form that consists of 5 lines, each containing a certain number of syllables. According to her theory, a traditional syncwine should consist of only 22 syllables: 2 of which are in the first line, 4 in the second, 6 in the third, 8 in the fourth and 2 in the fifth.

For the first time, this type of literature began to be put into practice in American schools. This is the so-called didactic syncane. It differs from other types of syncwines in that it does not require an accurate count of the syllables used in each line. It is based on the semantic load of each individual line.

Didactic, or as it is also called, classical syncwine, is built on the following principle:

The first line consists of just one word. This can be a noun or a pronoun. It should indicate the theme of the work.
Second line. Used to describe the properties of the main theme. These can be 2 participles or adjectives.
The third one tells about the actions of the topic. To do this, use 3 gerunds or verbs.
The fourth is the longest and consists of 4 words. Here the author needs to express his personal opinion regarding the topic of the verse.
Fifth - consists of only 1 word, which can refer to any part of speech. This is a kind of summary of the text that reveals the essence of the topic.

This unrhymed short poem can touch on any topic. Another feature of didactic syncwine is that the author is allowed to deviate from the basic rules. For example, to write the main idea or summary, it is allowed to use a phrase or an entire phrase of several (3-5) words. You can use a compound predicate to describe an action.

How to write syncwine

Many schoolchildren liked this activity. After all, to write such a verse, they do not need to have talent or special skills. It’s enough just to master the form of syncwine and, as they say, “feel it from the inside.”

Writing Instructions

The first line will be "Soap".
What is soap in a nutshell? Choose any two adjectives that first came to your mind. This may be a general concept (scented, foamy, etc.) or the author will come up with an image of the soap that he personally uses (fruit, liquid, etc.). Let’s say you get “yellow, fragrant.”
Here you need to select 3 actions. The child needs to be explained that what is meant is not the specific action that an object is capable of, but also how others can influence it. For example, soap can not only foam in your hands or smell, it can cause tears if it gets into your eyes, slip out and fall on the floor. In addition, you can wash yourself with it. For example, you chose the following 3 verbs: “cleans, smells, bubbles.”
Now the author has to express his opinion on the subject. This does not only refer to the feelings and emotions that you may experience when thinking about this subject. Perhaps these are associations, something from personal life related to the subject, etc. For example, you remember how, as a child, your mother forced you to wash your hands before dinner or you fell on it when you slipped. Or perhaps you brew it yourself at home. Now all that remains is to squeeze all these memories into 3-5 words. For example: “washes hands before eating,” etc.
The summary should consist of 1, maximum 2 words. To do this, once again carefully read what you managed to write and describe the image that appeared before you in one word. If this did not work out, answer the question - why was this item invented? What is its role in our lives? What property of an object can be considered the main one? Also, please note that the summary must be connected to the previous line. Therefore, if you wrote about hand washing, it would be advisable to conclude by talking about cleanliness or hygiene.

The resulting result

Now read your result:

Soap.

Yellow, fragrant.

Cleans, smells, bubbles.

Washes hands before eating.

Purity.

Thus, after practicing on something simple, you can move on to more serious things. Examples can be anything, just choose a topic from what surrounds us.

Now it’s clear how to do a syncwine in literature, history or any other school subject. For children, this can become a kind of “creative break”. And the teacher will be able, based on the poem compiled by the student, to determine the degree of his understanding of a particular topic.

INTRODUCTION

There is a fashion for certain tasks in school practice: just as there is a fashion for certain clothes or music. And now many teachers include in their lesson plans writing syncwines. In fact, they can be written on absolutely any subject, but teachers of Russian language and literature still have a special love for this French task. What is this unusual task?

When you hear the word “syncwine” for the first time, it seems that it is something incomprehensible and exotic. In fact, there is absolutely nothing complicated here.

Sinkwine.

Cinquain is a five-line verse.

This poem is written according to certain rules. Compiling a syncwine requires the student to be able to find the most important elements in the educational material, draw conclusions and express all this in brief conclusions.

The ability to summarize information, to express complex ideas, feelings and perceptions in a few words is an important skill. It requires thoughtful reflection based on a rich conceptual stock. A cinquain is a poem that requires a synthesis of information and material in brief terms, which allows you to describe or reflect on any occasion.

The word cinquain comes from a French word that means five. Thus, a cinquain is a poem consisting of five lines. When you introduce students to syncwines, first explain to them how such poems are written. Then give some examples. After this, invite the group to write several syncwines. For some students, writing syncwines will be difficult at first. An effective means of introducing syncwines is to divide the group into pairs. Name the theme for the syncwine. Each student will be given 5-7 minutes to write a syncwine. Then he will turn to his partner and from two syncwines they will make one, with which both will agree. This will give them the opportunity to talk about why they wrote and re-examine the topic critically. In addition, this method will require participants to listen to each other and extract ideas from others' writings that they can relate to their own. Then the whole group will be able to familiarize themselves with paired syncwines. If overhead projectors are available, it is useful to show a couple of syncwines. Each of them can be represented by both authors. This could spark further discussion.

Synquains are a fast and powerful tool for reflecting, synthesizing and summarizing concepts and information. It is important to do these exercises systematically, purposefully and with clear pedagogical goals.

When this is done, learning and thinking become a transparent process accessible to all. There will be no mysterious or subtle processes that only those who are lucky will be able to notice. When processes become transparent, students not only learn content, but also learn how to learn.

History of origin

At first XX century developed a form of syncwine American poetess Adelaide Crapsey (Adelaide Crapsey), based on familiarity with Japanese syllabic miniatures haiku And tank. Cinquains were included in her posthumous collection of poems, published in 1914 and reprinted several times.

Sinkwine(from fr. cinquains , English cinquain) - five-line poetic form that arose in USA at first XX century influenced Japanese poetry. Later it began to be used (lately, since 1997, and in Russia) for didactic purposes, as an effective method of developing figurative speech, which allows you to quickly get results. A number of methodologists believe that syncwines are useful as a tool for synthesizing complex information, as a snapshot for assessing students’ conceptual and vocabulary knowledge

Compilation rules

1 line – one word– title of the poem, theme, usually a noun.

Line 2 – two words(adjectives or participles). Description of the topic, words can be connected by conjunctions and prepositions.

Line 3 – three words(Verbs). Actions related to the topic.

Line 4 – four words- offer. A phrase that shows the author’s attitude to the topic in the 1st line.

Line 5 – one word– an association, a synonym that repeats the essence of the topic in the first line, usually a noun.

Spring.

Bright and warm

She decorated it, came, and lit it.

Gives people hope and dreams.

Mentor.

Traditional cinquain consists of five lines and is based on the count of syllables in each verse:

its syllable structure is 2-4-6-8-2, for a total of 22 syllables (haiku has 17, tanka has 31).

Reverse syncwine(Reverse cinquain) - with the reverse sequence of verses (2-8-6-4-2);

Mirror syncwine(Mirror cinquain) - a form of two five-line stanzas, where the first one is traditional, and the second - back syncwines;

Cinquain butterfly(Butterfly cinquain) - nine-line form with syllabic structure 2-4-6-8-2-8-6-4-2;

Crown of cinquains(Crown cinquain) - 5 traditional cinquains forming a complete poem;

Garland of cinquains(Garland cinquain) - analogue wreath of sonnets, a crown of syncwines, to which is added a sixth cinquain, where the first line is taken from the first syncwine, the second line from the second, etc.

How do you spell syncwine? The conditions for writing it are as follows:

The first line contains one word - noun. This is the theme of syncwine.

On the second line they write two adjectives, revealing the theme of the sequel.

Third line - three verbs, describing actions related to the topic of syncwine.

The fourth line contains the whole phrase - aphorism, with which you need to express your attitude to the topic. Such an aphorism can be a catchphrase, quotation, proverb, or a phrase composed by the student himself in context with the topic.

The fifth line includes summary word, which gives a new interpretation of the topic, expresses the personal attitude of the author of the syncwine to the topic.

Didactic syncwine

Didactic syncwine developed in the practice of the American school. In that genre the text is based not on syllabic dependence, but on the content and syntactic specificity of each line.

First line - sequel theme, contains one word (usually noun or pronoun), which denotes the object or subject that will be discussed.

The second line is two words (most often adjectives or participles), they give description of features and properties the item or object selected in the syncwine.

The third line is formed by three verbs or participles, describing characteristic actions object.

The fourth line is a four-word phrase expressing personal attitude the author of the syncwine to the described item or object.

Fifth line - one word-summary , characterizing essence subject or object.

Strict adherence to the rules for writing syncwine is not necessary. For example, to improve the text, you can use three or five words in the fourth line, and two words in the fifth line. It is possible to use other parts of speech.

Sinkwine from a pedagogical point of view

Writing a syncwine is a form of free creativity that requires the student to be able to find the most significant elements in information material, draw conclusions and formulate them briefly. In addition to the use of syncwines in literature lessons (for example, to summarize a completed work), it is also practiced to use a syncwine as a final assignment on the material covered in any other discipline.

Ease of construction

The simplicity of constructing a syncwine makes it one of the effective methods of student development, which allows you to quickly get results. In particular, getting to know the very concept of a word and expanding your vocabulary to more effectively express your thoughts.

Formation of analytical abilities

Compiling a syncwine, a short summary based on large amounts of information, is useful for developing the ability to analyze. Unlike a school essay, a syncwine requires less time, although it has more rigid boundaries in the form of presentation, and its writing requires the compiler to realize almost all of his personal abilities (intellectual, creative, imaginative). Thus, the procedure for compiling a syncwine allows you to harmoniously combine elements of all three main educational systems: informational, activity-based and personality-oriented.

Variability

Various variations for composing syncwine contribute to the diversified composition of tasks. In addition to compiling a new syncwine independently (or in pairs or in a group), options are possible with:

compiling a short story based on the finished syncwine (using words and phrases included in the syncwine);

correction and improvement of finished syncwine;

analysis of an incomplete syncwine to determine the missing part (for example, a syncwine is given without indicating the topic - without the first line, it is necessary to determine it based on the existing ones).

Cinquains are an excellent way to control.

For literature lessons, syncwines are a real Eldorado. Students love these French poems because they are short in length, easy to compose and quite interesting. With the help of syncwine, you can express the whole essence of a literary character in a few words. At the same time, the teacher not only saves time, but also simultaneously checks the readability of the text, the depth of its understanding and the student’s ability to correctly express his thoughts. If a 45-minute lesson allows you to read aloud only a few essays, then everyone will be able to present their own syncwine, and there will still be time to discuss everything.

By composing a syncwine, each student realizes his or her talents and abilities: intellectual, creative, imaginative. If the task is completed correctly, the cinquain will definitely turn out to be emotional.

Here are some examples of fairly successful syncwines:

It is impossible to write a poem correctly without reading the text. I propose to get acquainted with several syncwines from my own teaching practice. The sixth grade students were syncwines dedicated to the heroes of the story Vladimir Osipovich Bogomolov “Ivan”.

Ivan.
Brave, brave.
Swims across, takes revenge, scouts.
Ivan will never give up.
Scout.
(I note that the student received a “3” for this syncwine, since she presented the main character in a very one-sided way).

Ivan.
Real, brave.
He scouts, runs away, dies.
A boy who serves the Motherland.
Intelligence service.
(Sinquain is rated higher because it contains a more in-depth study of the character and fate of the hero).

Galtsev.
Disciplined, inquisitive.
Serves, gives, wins.
Keeps his promise.
Soldier.

Titkov.
Cowardly, selfish.
Betrays, gives, receives.
The thirst for profit is the source of evil.
Traitor.

If suddenly a student has difficulty finding words that are appropriate in the syncwine, then the problem is most likely explained by the following. Either the topic of syncwine is not close to the student (it is not understood by him or is simply not interesting). Or the student needs to work on expanding his vocabulary.

And also syncwines are very convenient to use for self-control or in mnemonic purposes. If students can easily compose a poem, then rest assured that the topic has been mastered well. In addition, syncwine contains the quintessence of the material - its emotional perception. Therefore, you can later repeat this topic by simply remembering your syncwine.

As for literature, for it syncwines are even more than a method of control or memorization. Try writing a syncwine about your favorite book character. And when you select the only correct adjectives, verbs and aphorisms for him, you will definitely feel how much closer, understandable and dearer this or that character has become to you. It’s as if you are passing the art of words through yourself. And this exactly the effect that Russian literature lessons should ideally achieve.

in Russian language and literature lessons.

1. Sinkwine as a technology technique for developing critical thinking at the stage of reflection. Definition of syncwine.

The word "cinquain" comes from a French word that means "five."

(loosely translated – “five inspirations” or “five successes”).

Cinquain is a small poetic form, a short literary work characterizing a subject (topic), consisting of five lines, which is written according to a certain plan.

2. Syncwine parameters.

Line 1 – one keyword (usually a noun or pronoun), the title of the poem – the theme of the syncwine, which determines the content.

Line 2 – two words (adjectives or participles) describing the topic, expressing the main idea; words can be connected by prepositions and conjunctions.

Line 3 – three words (verbs or gerunds) characterizing actions related to the topic.

Line 4 – four words – a sentence, a phrase showing the author’s attitude to the topic, an aphorism in the form of a proverb, a catchphrase, a quote.

Line 5 – one word (usually a noun) – a synonym or association that repeats the essence of the topic, a summary word.

For literature lessons, syncwines are a real Eldorado. Students love these French poems because they are short in length, easy to compose and quite interesting. With the help of syncwine, you can express the whole essence of a literary character in a few words.

I remember the words of A.S. Pushkin “only meaningful and felt reading is perfection.”

Sinkwine is one of the methods of meta-subject technologies in teaching. Writing a syncwine can be used in any lesson, covering all sorts of topics.

Examples of syncwines written by students in literature lessons:

Thumbelina.

He suffers, loves, thanks.

WRITING SINQWAIN

One of the forms of work in literary reading lessons can be working with syncwine.

Sinkwine is a technique for developing critical thinking at the stage of reflection.

The word cinquain comes from the French word for "five".

A cinquain is a poem consisting of 5 lines.

There are several more definitions of syncwine.

Cinquain is a short poetic form used to record emotional assessments, describe one’s current impressions, sensations and associations.

Cinquain is a short literary work characterizing a subject (topic), consisting of five lines, which is written according to a specific plan.

Rules for writing syncwine.

1 line- one word - the title of the poem, theme, usually a noun;

2 line - two adjectives that reveal the theme of syncwine;

3 line - three verbs describing actions on the topic of syncwine;

4 line - a phrase, sentence, quote or catchphrase expressing one’s attitude to the topic;

5 line - a summary word that gives a new interpretation of the topic.

For example, a syncwine on the theme of the Russian folk tale “The Little Fox and the Gray Wolf.”

Fox.

Cunning, smart.

Cries, complains, cheats.

There are such among animals.

A liar.

Sinkwine on the theme of A.S. Pushkin.

Pushkin.

Smart, talented.

Writes, composes, creates.

Poetry outlived him.

Genius.

Sinkwine from the point of view of pedagogy.

Writing a syncwine is a form of free creativity that requires the author to be able to find the most significant elements in information material, draw conclusions and formulate them briefly. In addition to the use of syncwine in literary reading lessons, the use of syncwine is also practiced as a final assignment on the material covered in any other discipline.

Ease of construction.

The simplicity of constructing syncwine makes it one of the effective methods for developing a school-age child, which allows you to quickly get results. In particular, getting to know the very concept of a word and expanding your vocabulary to more effectively express your thoughts.

Formation of analytical abilities.

Compiling a syncwine, a short summary based on large amounts of information, is useful for developing the ability to analyze. Unlike a school essay, a syncwine requires less time, although it has stricter limits on the form of presentation, and its writing requires the compiler to realize almost all of his personal abilities (intellectual, creative, imaginative). Thus, the procedure for compiling a syncwine allows you to harmoniously combine elements of all three educational systems: informational, activity-based and personality-oriented.

You can work with syncwine in different ways.

Variability.

Various options for composing syncwine contribute to the diversified composition of tasks. In addition to compiling a new syncwine independently (or in pairs or in a group), options are possible: compiling a short story based on the finished syncwine (using words and phrases included in the syncwine); correction and improvement of finished syncwine; analysis of an incomplete syncwine to determine the missing part (for example, a syncwine is given without indicating the topic - without the first line, it is necessary to determine it based on the existing ones).

Sinkwine:

Enriches vocabulary;

Prepares for a brief retelling;

Teaches you to form an idea (key phrase);

Allows you to feel like a creator at least for a moment;

It works for everyone.

Later it began to be used (lately, since 1997, in Russia) for didactic purposes, as an effective method for developing figurative speech, which allows you to quickly get results. A number of methodologists believe that syncwines are useful as a tool for synthesizing complex information, as a snapshot for assessing students’ conceptual and vocabulary knowledge.

Various variations for composing syncwine contribute to the diversified composition of tasks. In addition to independently (as well as in a pair, in a group) compiling a new syncwine, the following options are possible:

compiling a short story based on a ready-made syncwine (using words and phrases included in the syncwine);
correction and improvement of finished syncwine;
analysis of an incomplete syncwine to determine the missing part (for example, a syncwine is given without indicating the topic - without the first line, it is necessary to determine it based on the existing ones).

Artificial character

Unlike an essay, the task of writing a syncwine is of a purely artificial nature (the educational task only models a life situation, and even then very remotely). Therefore, writing a syncwine can only be useful for a small percentage of students with the appropriate thinking structure. For others, such a task will be of a formal nature.
