ANTONYM DIAMANTE POEM
Yesterday I taught the children in my Creative Writing co-op class how to write antonym diamante poems. This type of poem is done in the shape of a diamond. Each line uses specific types of words like nouns, adjectives, and words ending with -ing. Words don't have to rhyme.
Format:
Beginning Topic
Adjective, adjective (about beginning topic)
-ing word, -ing word, -ing word (about beginning topic)
Four nouns or a phrase of words (about beginning and then ending topic)
-ing word, -ing word, -ing word (about ending topic)
Adjective, adjective (about ending topic)
Ending Topic
The children (ages 6-8) did amazing!!!! They kept wanting to come up with more and more poems during the entire class. Here is an example of one of their poems...
Cats
Fluffy, Soft
Meowing, Cuddling, Sprinting
Stares silently at you, barks loudly at noise
Barking, Sleeping, Sniffing
Fun, energetic
Dogs
and another...
