We are learning to connect to a text - Diamante poems!

Room four has used their ever increasing inquiry thinking skills to dissect the structure of a Synonym Diamante poem. The learners looked at examples and asked each other questions about what it include, like the amount of lines, types of words. We are also learning to first look at the obvious - what is right there?
This was their first attempt at using this type of process and the result was them successfully telling me how to write a diamante poem! I am so very proud of them! The students then had to connect themselves to what it was like to be a soldier, as part of our Text-to-Self and Text-to-World focus.
Can you work out the structure of the poem???
