Welcome To Wiki!
In the Hawaiian language, "wiki" means quick. This is a quick, interactive site for English 9 students where they can view daily assignments including vocabulary, upload documents, and post written work. Always keep in mind that this public domain is an educational resource; therefore, students must not write anything they do not want their principal, guardians, and clergyman/woman to read. Inappropriate content will generate unpleasant consequences.
Please review our rules for using this site:
- We will post quality work that is academically relevant.
- We will respect the work of others.
- We will post wiki assignments on the wiki and in no other form.
You will practice gerunds by writing a diamonte (dianmond) poem. The poem can be about any two topics of your choosing; your beginning topic will transition to the ending topic, such as caterpillar to butterfly, or child to adult. Here is the pattern:
Noun (beginning topic)
Adjective, adjective (describes beginning topic)
gerund, gerund, gerund (-ing words about beginning topic)
four nouns or a short phrase transitioning from the first topic to the second topic
gerund, gerund, gerund (-ing words about the ending topic)
adjective, adjective (describes ending topic)
noun (ending topic)
After typing, you want to highlight where the transition takes place, and center align your poem to make the diamond shape. Here is an example:
Day
bright, sunny
laughing, working, playing,
Up in the east, down in the west
talking, resting, sleeping
quiet, dark
Night
Remember to add your name below the poem. We will read our diamonte poems in class on Thursday, 12/6.
