Learning Log 1

For the past few lessons, I have learned about cinquains. The word cinquain is derived from the French word cinq which means five. A cinquain is a five-line poem. The first sentence contains only one word which is the title. The second sentence has two words which describes the title. The third sentence contains three action words which has something to do with the title. The fourth sentence lets you express how you fell about he title in four words. The fifth and final sentence has only one word which is a reflection on the title.
                                                                                                                                                      
Respect means to never look down on someone even if you are cleverer or more skillful then them.

Integrity means to tell the truth even though you know you will be punished if you do so.

Commitment means to be involved in your studies, cca or even your job even though they are exhausting.

Enterprise is to take part in activities in school or even in the community and give ideas during projects or group work

In my opinion, without respect, integrity, commitment and enterprise, there would be no Singapore today as without these four characteristics our founding fathers would not have made Singapore what it is today. The world would also be different as there would me no honesty and respect between each other.

I would suggest that we have some games during our lessons.
