Term 1 Week 1&2
During the first week, we did not have much of literature lesson as we were spending the first few days knowing each other and decorating the class. But in the second week, we started off with literature learning a type of poem called Cinquain. Basically,Cinquain is a 5-line poem.

Example of Cinquain:
Friendship (title)
Important, Rare (describe title using 2 words - adjective)
Talking, Caring, Sharing (choose 3 words to tell us what the title can do - verb)
Very important to all (choose 4 words that describe feeling about the title)
Awesome (reflection on the title)

In a nutshell, Cinquain is just a 5-line poem that requires own creativity to make it unique and have special meanings.

Comments about lessons
At first, i thought that learning Cinquain will be bored especially when we have new classmate. But in the end, it actually resulted in a fun lesson that everyone enjoys (i guess ^^). The best part about learning the Cinquain is that we worked in groups and came out with creative, unique and special poems.

Suggestions
Although this maybe perfect literature lessons for me, there are always more spaces for improvement. I think that lessons can be improved if everyone is suggesting more idea or giving more examples.
