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.

Name the theme for the syncwine. Each participant 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.

I am a citizen of Russia! You say these three simple words and you feel like the happiest, proudest person in the world. You are overcome with spiritual delight, and it seems that our Russia is the best in the world. And if you are a true citizen of your Fatherland, then you will do everything so that it prospers, so that everyone lives in peace and harmony, and your children become full citizens of the Russian Federation

The word “citizen” has several meanings. Firstly, a citizen is a resident of a country who has the right of citizenship. Secondly, since ancient times, the word “citizen” has a deep meaning associated with the freedom, rights and responsibilities of man. And already in that distant time from us, losing the status of a citizen was a great shame. A modern citizen of Russia also has his own rights and responsibilities, since he lives in a rule-of-law state that protects freedom and human rights, and at the same time controls his activities with laws. And if you understand this great word correctly, you must interact with both society and the state. Only active participation in public life will help us young, form as individuals, and have our own outlook on life. In our legal democratic state, I, like thousands of my peers, have the right to vote and be elected, the right of access to public service, the right to be a member of a public organization or party. I have the right to participate in a referendum, to participate in rallies and street processions. The right to vote is given to all adults from the age of eighteen. And I don’t understand those people who refuse to go to the polls.

Probably each of them believes that nothing can be achieved by participating in elections, and their vote means nothing. I think otherwise. How will we exist in our society if we give up the rights given to us? ! If we each act in our own interests, we will not build a bright future for ourselves and our children. Only by uniting can we ensure a decent future for our Russia.

I'm almost eighteen. And in the near future (I have been imagining this for a long time) I will come to the polls and by voting I will cast my vote for a worthy person. This means that I will begin to participate in the public life of my country, I can become a member of any party, and express my opinion.

It turns out that I will take part in the formation of higher authorities and local governments. But, in addition to rights, we also have responsibilities.

Every Russian must observe and honor the law. This is clearly stated in the Constitution of our country. In Russia, one of the constitutional obligations is the service in the Armed Forces of young men who have reached the age of eighteen. We should be proud of this and at the right time stand up to defend our Fatherland. And in this I see a manifestation of citizenship.

Recently, it has become popular to use a method called “syncwine” in school classes. It is believed that this stimulates the mental activity of students, promotes the development of creative thinking, writing and reading skills, the ability to analyze and draw conclusions, briefly formulating them. In addition, making syncwines is very interesting and children enjoy doing it.

What is syncwine?

This form of versification appeared at the instigation of the American Adelaide Crapsey at the beginning of the last century, thanks to the eastern principles of poetry - haiku and tanka. The result was a cinquain - a laconic five-line poetic form that carries synthesized information. Sinkwine is divided into several varieties, each of which has certain composition rules.

Crapsey came up with the traditional form of composing a pentaline, where the work included 22 syllables and had a structure like this: 2 - 4 - 6 - 8 - 2, where the number indicates the number of syllables in each line.

The didactic form of syncwine began to be used to teach American schoolchildren. It differs from other five-line verses in that it is not the observance of the syllable structure that is important, but the semantic information of the lines.

The classic traditional syncwine is composed as follows:

  • The first line is the topic, noun or pronoun;
  • The second line is two adjectives or participles, they briefly characterize the topic, describing it;
  • The third line is three words of verbs or gerunds that reveal the action;
  • The fourth line is the author’s opinion about the topic being described in four words;
  • The fifth line is the final line, the essence of the topic, consisting of one word and any part of speech.

Of course, these are the general basics of writing a syncwine that you should try to adhere to. But small adjustments can be made if the meaning of the poem benefits from this. To prevent a five-line text from turning out to be a jumbled collection of words, it is allowed to increase the words in a line or replace parts of speech, and so on. The main thing is that as a result the author creates an interesting creation with important information.

Pedagogical value of syncwine

This poetic form began to be used in Russian schools not so long ago, in the last decade of the last century. But it has been successfully used in Western school curricula for almost 100 years.

From a pedagogical point of view, syncwine is an excellent way for a student to realize his creative potential. This poetic form helps to find and highlight the most important points in the information field, compose them and briefly bring them to the attention of others.

Sinkwine helps overcome speech monotony in a child, helps enrich vocabulary, and accelerate mental development. Compiling pentaverses helps develop analytical thinking skills. It is convenient to use it as a final task to check the material covered. The simplicity of constructing a poem makes this development method very effective for children of different ages.

To take syncwine, you need to have knowledge and understanding of the material covered. This form can be used not only in literature or the Russian language, but also in subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, you can check the student’s level of knowledge by compiling a syncwine. Moreover, although it takes less time than writing a standard test, it will require no less intensity of mental work. And the result will be much more original, interesting and revealing.

Let's try to understand step by step how to write a non-rhyming poem using the word “book”.

1 line

Line 1 is the topic, which means the word “book” is the finished starting line of our poem. But books are different, what characteristics should we give them? To do this, you need to specify the topic (in this case, the book). Let's move on to the second line.

2 line

Line 2 gives a description of the subject (topic). What do you think of when you hear the word “book”? Everyone has their own associations, for example:

  • Electronic, paper;
  • Interesting, fascinating, with pictures and illustrations;
  • Boring, technical, with formulas and diagrams;
  • Old, ancient, with notes in the margins.

The list can be very long and there is no definitely correct definition, since everyone has their own first perception when pronouncing a word. Some people imagine their favorite children’s book, some imagine a hefty tome in their father’s office, others have an abstract image in the form of store shelves with many creations. You need to write what you think is related to “your” book. For example:

  • bright, colorful;
  • boring, instructive;
  • historical, interesting.

From the second line the character of our book is already clearly presented.

3 line

Line 3 should describe the action. What actions generally happen with the book? It is composed, written, published, sold, on the shelf, and so on. But it would be more correct to describe the actions in relation to the author: captivates, puts you to sleep, makes you bored, teaches, tells, makes you worry. The choice of characterizing verbs depends on the description given. Let’s say that the boring, moralizing line in the second line cannot captivate or awaken the imagination in the third.

When writing the third line, the main rule is to stick to the image that has already been created. You also need to monitor the use of cognate words; if the book was described as interesting, then you should not characterize the action that interests it. The result will be a transfusion of “water”. It is better to use a word with a similar meaning: an interesting book captivates.

4 line

Line 4 of the pentaverse implies an expression of personal attitude towards the topic (book). As a rule, this line is the most difficult to formulate. Schoolchildren are constantly taught that thoughts must be expressed directly and unambiguously: I love to read, I find books useful and moralizing. In practice, syncwine does not require an assessment and implies a free interpretation. You need to determine what is most important in relation to you and your life related to books.

For example:

  • I hate sitting with a book;
  • learned to read at age five;
  • I have a lot of books at home.

If the imagination pictures deforestation to produce paper for books, then there may be the following formulations:

  • published a book - destroyed a tree;
  • books made of paper - a planet without trees.

That is, an expression of personal attitude towards books in a clear and understandable form. If it is difficult to immediately compose a short, succinct phrase, then you can write your thought in free form, not counting the number of words, and then decide how to reduce it to the required size. For example: “I love reading historical novels and can sit over a book all night until the morning.” As a result, the shortened version will look like:

  • I read all night long;
  • I’ll read the whole book before morning;
  • a book in your hands - a dream is at your doorstep.

5 line

Line 5 is the final line, its task is to summarize the entire work in one word. First you need to write the resulting four lines and read them. This is an almost finished unrhymed poem. Let’s say you remember children’s works:

  • Bright, fabulous.
  • Entertains, fascinates, lulls.
  • Mom read it before bed.

To formulate the main idea of ​​the syncwine, you need to draw a conclusion from the resulting work: “I remember how, as a child, I liked it when my mother read bedtime stories.” Most likely, the final word will already be contained in the final phrase. In this case, the word “childhood” would be appropriate.
