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 (diamond) poem. The poem must connect to the season, such as cold weather, winter sports, religious holidays, family traditions, etc. The beginning topic will transition to the ending topic, such as caterpillar to butterfly, or child to adult. Here is the patter:
Noun (beginning topic)
adjective, adjective (about beginning topic)
gerund, gerund, gerund (-ing words about the beginning topic)
four nouns or a short phrase transitioning first and last lines
gerund, gerund, gerund (-ing words about ending topic)
adjective, adjective (about ending topic)
noun (ending topic)
After typing, you want to highlight and center align your poem to make the diamond shape. Here is an example:
Student
young, bright
learning, laughing, thinking
asking questions, providing answers
maturing, understanding, coaching
knowledgeable, intelligent
Teacher
Remember to add your name to the poem. We will share our Diamonte Poems in class on Friday, 12/13.
