Teaching poetry? Cinquain poems are a great place to start when writing poetry. The simple format is easy enough for students of all ages to use. This page contains the basic format of a cinquain poem and 3 sample poems to help students brainstorm some ideas and enjoy. This also works great for older students - give them a topic as a review for a test and see what they can come up with!
