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 everyone. 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.
Joy.
Teacher.
Creative, kind
Teaches, educates and cares.
I like the job of a teacher.
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, bold.
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.

Sinkwine
- This is one of the methods for enhancing students’ cognitive activity in the classroom. The word "cinquain" comes from the French word for "five" and means "a poem consisting of five lines." This methodological technique is described in the audio lecture of the “Legal Education” project of the Russian Foundation for Legal Reforms. A cinquain is not an ordinary poem, but a poem written in accordance with certain rules. Each line specifies a set of words that must be reflected in the poem. Line 1 – heading, which contains the keyword, concept, theme of the syncwine, expressed in the form of a noun, Line 2 – two adjectives,Line 3 – three verbs,Line 4 – 4 words, a phrase that carries a certain meaning, 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, Line 5 – summary, conclusion, one word, noun.
Sinkwine on the theme "State" ,
State.(Title) Independent, legal.(Two adjectives) Collects ( taxes), judges, pays(pensions). (3 verbs) The state is us!(Phrase that carries a certain meaning) Protection.(Summary)
Sinkwine "Proverb"
Proverb, kind, warm-hearted, cares, tunes, protects. The world illuminates like the sun. Good. Sinkwine is not a way to test a student’s knowledge; it has a different task, and a more universal one.
Sinkwine is a way to check what students have at the level of associations at any stage of the lesson, studying a topic. The teacher begins to study a new topic and at the beginning of the lesson gives a syncwine: “What do you already know about this? What do you think?" After analyzing the results obtained, you can correct the student’s ideas about this concept while studying the topic. ...The middle of the lesson. The topic is very difficult to understand. The students are tired. Offer them a syncwine on some section of the topic being studied, and you will find out how students perceive new material. A quick way to change the type of activity without leaving the topic. The topic has been studied. The quality, depth and strength of knowledge will be shown by a survey and a final control section.
And now, at the end of the lesson - cinquain. A worthy result of studying new material, which will demonstrate not so much knowledge as understanding, value judgments, and value orientations of students. Ultimately, with a detailed analysis of syncwines, the teacher will see how much he managed to achieve the previously predicted result.
SINQWINE- This is a five-line verse.
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 (below are some syncwines). After this, invite the group to write several syncwines. For some people, 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 participant will be given 5-7 minutes to write a syncwine.

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 everyone. 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.
Sinkwine from a pedagogical point of view
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 using syncwines in literature lessons (for example, to summarize the completed work ) it is also practiced to use syncwine as a final task on the material covered in any other discipline.

Lessons in which the teacher uses techniques that influence the formation and development of positive motivation allow us to assert that the activity of students increases, the teacher-student, student-teacher relationships become open, positively emotional, productive, the students’ performance increases, the number of independent actions based on not only on the rationality, but also on the emotionality of students, cognitive interests are strengthened, and therefore have a positive effect on the quality of knowledge. It is important for us to make meetings with phonetics, morphology, and syntax not boring and ordinary, but joyful and interesting. It is reasonable and appropriate to use innovative motivational technologies along with traditional forms so that the teacher can captivate children, and thereby create the basis for better perception of large and complex material. In modern conditions, it is especially important to organize the learning process so that its educational result is manifested in the formation of a system of vitally important, practically in demand knowledge and skills, which will allow students to adapt to life and approach it actively and creatively. Thus, learning will only become joyful and attractive for children when they themselves are involved in the learning process under the strict guidance of a teacher who daily creates conditions for the formation of positive learning motivation. One of my favorite techniques or technologies is syncwine.
Sinkwine." This technique helps to understand how students have learned the lesson material, motivate them, intrigue them with a new topic, or update previously acquired knowledge. Cinquain is a poem consisting of five lines and constructed according to special rules:
First line – a noun or pronoun denoting the subject being discussed;
second line – two adjectives or participles describing the characteristics of an object;
third line – three verbs describing the actions of the subject;
fourth line – a four-word phrase expressing an attitude towards the subject;
fifth line - a synonymous word for the first one.

Cinquain is a verse without rhyme, which consists of five lines. Each of them is created in accordance with certain restrictions. Cinquain arose at the beginning of the twentieth century under the influence of classical Japanese poetry haiku (haiku) and tanka. The creation of syncwine is included in the educational and educational methods of a huge number of teachers around the globe. This article proposes to consider the basic principles of compiling a syncwine with examples on various topics.
Why do you need to compose syncwines?
Writing such a poem is a rather difficult task, requiring compelling reasons to include it in the educational program and use it in teaching children and improving the skills of creative people. And such reasons really exist.
- First, writing requires the poet to have a large vocabulary and the ability to “play with words” to express his ideas and thoughts in a form limited by strict rules.
- Secondly, whatever the topic of the work, the author will have to study it fully and from different angles in order to make his work complete and deep. Therefore, for any material, such a poem can serve as a form of study and memorization.
- Thirdly, this kind of creativity develops in elementary school students the ability and desire to understand the world around them, describe it and evaluate what is happening.
- Fourthly, the joint creation of syncwine (in pairs or groups) contributes to the generation of new, unique ideas and unexpected solutions.
- Fifthly, working on a poem requires imagination and develops fantasy.
- Sixth, such practice in the classroom helps to identify the individual qualities of students, useful for developing the most effective approach to teaching.
In addition to those listed, anyone can discover other advantages of writing syncwines, but only after their own “testing of the pen”.
The structure of a classic syncwine
There are many variants of cinquain: from the classic (so-called traditional) five-line poem to more originally designed “butterflies” and “mirrors”. This article presents the classic structure, examined using the example of a poem about a puppy. It looks like this:
Cinquain line | Grammatical meaning | Actual meaning | Number of syllables |
|
One noun or (less commonly) pronoun | The subject or phenomenon that will be discussed | Two syllables |
||
Dear, kind | Two adjectives (which?) or participles (what is doing?) | Two characteristics of the phenomenon or object named in the first line | Four syllables |
|
Barks, loves, grows | Three verbs (what does it do?) | Actions of an object or phenomenon, or (less often) actions performed on it | Six syllables |
|
Gives people laughter and joy | One sentence of four words, not counting auxiliary parts of speech (prepositions, conjunctions, particles) | Revealing the essence of an object or phenomenon, expressing the author’s attitude towards it | Eight syllables |
|
Your friend | One word or phrase | A synonym for the word from the first line, an association, an explanation, or a word expressing the author’s attitude towards him | Two syllables |
Due to a number of linguistic features, the rule of accurately counting the number of syllables often has to be neglected. The number of words in the fourth line may also vary. In practice, people of different ages and professions or teachers of different subjects can change, supplement and expand the restrictions and rules for writing syncwine to their liking.
Other types of syncwines
Like any other art, versification has undergone many changes throughout its existence. The complex syllabic structure (the number of syllables in lines) of syncwine led to the fact that its variations arose in various literary movements, significantly different from the original concept.
- Reverse syncwine is an inversion of the classical one. Instead of the usual sequence of syllables “2, 4, 6, 8, 2”, the reverse appears - “2, 8, 6, 4, 2”.
- The mirror cinquain consists of two poems five lines long. Moreover, each poem is an independent syncwine: the first is classical or traditional, and the second is the opposite. They are united by a common theme contained in the first and last lines.
- Cinquain butterfly is a form of versification almost identical to the previous one. The sequence of syllables of a mirror syncwine can be written as "2, 4, 6, 8, 2, 2, 8, 6, 4, 2". In the case of the butterfly, the poem is reduced to nine lines—the fifth or sixth line in the previous version is eliminated. The resulting sequence is "2, 4, 6, 8, 2, 8, 6, 4, 2".
- The Crown of Cinquains is a poem of twenty-five lines or five classic cinquains. There are a huge number of applications for this form of versification. Thus, you can consider less specific and more general topics in detail, address their various aspects, and approach the issue of revealing the topic in full. A longer poem, as a result of increasing the number of words-characteristics, becomes more informative and valuable in terms of semantic load.
- A garland of cinquains is almost the same as a crown, but of thirty lines, where the twenty-sixth corresponds to the first, the twenty-seventh to the second, the twenty-eighth to the third, and so on.
It is not at all necessary to use different variations of syncwines in didactic activities, since children usually have enough of the classical ones. But to broaden your horizons and find the limit to your own capabilities, you can try yourself in compiling all these options. If any of the readers decide to start creating such poems on a serious level, familiarity with different forms will allow you to find your own style.
Russian language and literature
This is probably the most popular lesson that practices writing unrhymed five-line poems. This is most likely due to the fact that this particular subject sets as its highest goal the development in students of the ability to express their thoughts using all the richness of their native language.
Before you start creating your own, it is recommended that you become thoroughly familiar with examples of syncwines in the Russian language. Composing both something similar and something completely special after this will not be difficult. So, you can characterize famous personalities from the world of literature in poetic form:
Vladimir Mayakovsky.
Shocking, futuristic.
He loved, wrote, drew.
He went down in history as a revolutionary poet.
This approach to studying authors can interest even the most indifferent children and teenagers to reading. In addition, examples of syncwines from literature will serve as strong motivation for students. They will encourage them to read and study the work carefully.
This is an example of a syncwine on the topic “Crime and Punishment”:
Raskolnikov.
Poor, confused.
Kills, reasons, repents.
Is the creature trembling or has the right?
Thus, among other things, students can be tested on their ability to characterize and evaluate characters and analyze them critically.
Social science
The science of life in society literally requires the education in students of the ability to express a personal position, fitting into the forms and framework provided for this. Therefore, syncwine will be an excellent tool for assimilation of material. This is an example of a syncwine on the topic “society”:
Society.
Tolerant, democratic.
Creates, protects, coordinates.
There are certain norms in society.
Specifically. Laconically. Exactly. Examples of syncwines in social studies in this case should be encouraged primarily not for a rich vocabulary, but for knowledge on the topic in question.
Mathematics
The “queen” of exact sciences requires memorizing a huge number of formulas, theorems and axioms. Despite this, paradoxically, the best approach to assimilation is creative. Through a fantasy training task, students can look at a certain aspect in a new way, change their attitude towards it and approach the lesson with more enthusiasm.
Vieta's theorem.
Simple, incomplete (quadratic equation).
Adds, multiplies, equates.
Used to solve quadratic equations.
Discriminant.
This is how it always seems at first glance: mathematics is a serious and boring subject. Examples of syncwines, however, prove exactly the opposite. So why not try yourself in a new direction?
Elementary school students can also be captivated by examples of syncwines and their composition:
Useful, different.
We count, add, subtract.
The numbers indicate the number of items.
And for older people, a work created by them themselves can become the best algorithm for memorizing complex topics:
Sarrus method.
Simple, convenient.
We add, multiply, add.
Serves to find the determinant.
The focus in this case is on understanding the concept and the ability to explain it in your own words.
Biology
Examples of syncwines in biology are usually very amusing and inspiring for students in classes that are just beginning to learn about the animal world.
Mammal, omnivore.
Catches (mice), sleeps, takes care (of offspring).
There are breeds of wild cats.
As with math, some older kids also find their charm in unrhymed poetry.
Red blood cells.
Red, biconcave.
They are “born” in the bone marrow, transport oxygen, and “die” in the liver.
Red blood cells are vital for humans.
Physics and astronomy
This subject is not so popular as a springboard for creative research, but here you can find the most interesting works.
Positive, negative.
Attracts, repels, divides.
Depends on the number of electrons.
Magnitude.
Or this option:
Direct, passing.
Reflects, refracts, changes direction.
Subject to the laws of reflection and refraction.
Geography
Countries and geographical objects often become objects of poetic attempts by novice writers.
Large, port.
Exports, extracts, develops.
China is the leader in the iron and steel industry.
Or this poem:
Amazon.
Deep, dangerous.
Flows, flows, feeds.
Record holder for the area of the hydrographic network.
Story
Despite the fact that history is not an exact science, it is rarely compared with creativity. However, examples of syncwines on historical topics make us convinced that such an attitude is erroneous and requires rethinking.
Otto von Bismarck.
Talented, patient.
He won, he conquered, he strengthened.
Prussian general who created an empire.
Germany.
Foreign language
This is quite an unusual occasion to show your creative abilities, since it is incredibly difficult to compose a poem, even without rhyme, in a language that is not your native one. Nevertheless, if any of the readers decide to do this, syncwine will certainly turn out to be one of the most convenient, useful and effective forms of versification. Compared to others, it has a number of advantages:
- Opportunity to enrich your vocabulary. To express your thoughts, you will certainly have to look into the dictionary, and this is already an excellent act of self-development.
- Language practice. As you know, there is never too much of it.
- Lack of rhyme and flexible syllabic structure. The only difficulty will be the choice of words and phrases, that is, what you need to pay attention to when learning a foreign language.
- An opportunity to look at things in a new way. By explaining familiar concepts in unusual (foreign) words, a person always discovers new horizons for himself. Anyone will feel this only after starting to compose a syncwine.
- Opportunity to share knowledge through poetry. For example, speaking about the same object or phenomenon, different people will note its different characteristic features, actions, synonyms or associations. Sharing them will allow you not only to learn new concepts, but also to change your attitude towards certain things for the better.
Some more beautiful syncwines
Despite the fact that this form of versification quickly gained popularity among teachers and educators, it was initially created for aesthetic purposes. And now many connoisseurs of original literary solutions can find exceptional pleasure in it. For example, when discussing philosophical topics:
Illusory, passing.
It goes, surprises, likes it.
The main thing in it is human happiness.
Fantasy.
And not only. Within this literary form, only the limitations of the author's imagination apply. Very often there are various variations that in one way or another refer to the so-called “ancestors” of the form - Japanese haiku and tanka. Therefore, the motives of the unity of man with nature and the cult of nature itself are very popular.
Hot, distant.
It rises, it sets, it grins.
It warms like the smile of a loved one.
Summing up
Cinquain is a unique poetic form, characterized by both rigidity of the framework and flexibility in the presentation of thoughts. It can be used for educational or educational purposes, as a method for memorizing and attracting attention. It can help the student engage in critical analysis of the material, develop his creativity and ability to evaluate the world around him. Cinquain can also become an outlet for a creative person. If, for example, the soul asks for poetry, but the head is not friendly with rhyme, these unusual poems can be the ideal solution. If you are learning a foreign language, the described method of versification can help enrich your vocabulary. In addition, syncwine can serve as a technique for memorizing information. Some people remember their own formulations of what they study much better than those they find in textbooks or on the Internet.
