Yetti Frenkel, Cinquan Workshop, Tuesday, September 14, 3:30-5:30 pm: The cinquain is a simple, five line poetry form that can be edited and rewritten to produce a truly extraordinary work. Anyone can write a cinquain, which is based on parts of speech. In this two hour workshop children compose a poem, then illustrate their poem in a five page, accordion fold book. Children learn about editing and effective language, using simile and metaphor as inspiration for poems, and illustration concepts for effective visual communication. After school program for ages 7 and up. (This program is supported in part by a grant from the Holliston Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.)
