Diamante Poem

** Diamante: ** A seven-line poem that takes the shape of a diamond. Lion Majestic, proud Roaring, snarling, prowling Mane, muscle. . . Fleece, fluff Bleating, leaping, grazing Meek, gentle Lamb

Brainstorming
Use the tips below to brainstorm on blank paper for different ideas. Then follow the directions to write your own descriptive diamante. Because the poem has a limited number of words, choose each word carefully, avoiding vague, blah words.

Opposite Word Pair Ideas

 * Correct:** age/youth (nouns) **Incorrect:** old/young (adjectives)
 * cat/dog
 * boy/girl
 * hamburger/Coke
 * pencil/paper
 * sandals/sneakers
 * king/queen
 * fire/ice
 * thunder/lightning
 * earth/sea
 * rose/thorn
 * love/hate
 * victory/defeat
 * peace/turmoil
 * Line A:** Name a topic (see the suggestions above for some ideas). **Line G:** Name an opposite topic. (This will be the LAST line of your diamante.) Remember—topics must be nouns. **Line B:** Brainstorm 5-6 vivid, concrete adjectives to describe Topic A. Do not choose words that end in “-ing.” **Line C:** Brainstorm 5-6 highly descriptive participles (verbs ending in “-ing”) that fit Topic A. **Line D:** Brainstorm several nouns that tell something about Topic A and Topic G. Be careful—make sure you choose NOUNS, not ADJECTIVES! **Line E:** Brainstorm 5-6 highly descriptive participles (verbs ending in “-ing”) that fit Topic G. **Line F:** Brainstorm 5-6 vivid, concrete adjectives to describe Topic G. Do not choose words that end in “-ing.”

Writing Your Diamante
Line A. ___ Line B.__ _, ___ Line C.__ _ , ___ ,__ _ Line D. ___ ,__ _. . . ___ ,__ _ Line E. ___ ,__ _, ___ Line F.__ _ , ___ Line G.__ _
 * 1) Pick out your most descriptive words from your brainstorming and put your diamante together. Diamantes do not need titles.
 * 2) When you are satisfied, recopy the poem onto clean notebook paper.
 * 3) Center your diamante on the paper.
 * 4) Begin each line with a capital letter, and remember your commas. Do not use ending punctuation.
 * 5) Include three spaced periods in the middle of Line D.
 * 6) When finished, double-check for concreteness!

What is a Diamante?
A diamante – pronounced dee-uh-MAHN-tay – is an unrhymed seven-line poem. The beginning and ending lines are the shortest, while the lines in the middle are longer, giving diamante poems a diamond shape. “Diamante” is the Italian word for diamond, so this poetic form is named for this diamond shape. Believe it or not, the diamante was invented just 40 years ago. It was created by an American poet named Iris McClellan Tiedt in 1969, and has become very popular in schools. Also known as a “diamond poem” because of it’s shape, there are two different types of diamantes; //synonym// diamantes and //antonym// diamantes.

The Rules of a Diamante
There are just a few rules to writing a diamante: Here’s an easy way to visualize all three rules: Noun Adjective, Adjective Verb, Verb, Verb Noun, Noun, Noun, Noun Verb, Verb, Verb Adjective, Adjective Noun In a synonym diamante, the nouns at the beginning and end are two words that mean basically the same thing. In an antonym diamante, the two nouns are opposites. Here are a couple of examples:
 * 1) Diamantes are seven lines long.
 * 2) The first and last lines have just one word. The second and sixth lines have two words. The third and fifth lines have three words. And the fourth line has four words.
 * 3) Lines 1, 4, and 7 have nouns. Lines 2 and 6 have adjectives. Lines 3 and 5 have verbs.

Synonym Diamante
In this diamante, the words “Monsters” and “Creatures” mean the same thing, so they are synonyms. Monsters Evil, Spooky Howling, Shrieking, Wailing Ghosts, Vampires, Goblins, Witches Flying, Scaring, Terrifying Creepy, Crawly Creatures

Antonym Diamante
In this diamante, you might say that the words “Cat” and “Dog” are opposites, or “antonyms,” so this is an antonym diamante. Cat Gentle, Sleepy Purring, Meowing, Scratching Whiskers, Fur, Collar, Leash Barking, Licking, Digging Slobbery, Playful Dog

Getting Started
To start writing a diamante, you first need to decide what //thing// you want to write about. The reason you want to pick a //thing// is that your first and last lines need to be //nouns//. In other words, your diamante will be about a noun, such as a “pencil” or a “pizza,” rather than about a verb, such as “jump” or an adjective like “smelly.” An easy thing to write about is something you like or something you see around you. Next, you’ll want to decide whether you want to write a synonym diamante or an antonym diamante. If you want to write a synonym diamante, you’ll want to select another word that means the //same// thing as your subject. If you are going to write an antonym diamante, choose a word that is its opposite. For this example, I will show you how to write an //antonym// diamante about the “sun,” and my second noun is “moon,” since the sun and the moon can be considered opposites. Once you’ve chosen your two nouns, take a piece of paper and brainstorm as many words as you can that have to do with each of them. For example, make one column for each word and write down everything you can think of. You’ll want adjectives (descriptive words), verbs (action words), and even more nouns. Your lists should look something like this:
 * **Sun** || **Moon** ||
 * Hot || Cold ||
 * Yellow || Silver ||
 * Fiery || Night ||
 * Day || Still ||
 * Light || Orbiting ||
 * Blinding || Shining ||
 * Exploding || Beautiful ||
 * Distant || Crescent ||
 * Nuclear ||  ||

Don’t worry if you have more words than you need. It’s better to have too many words to choose from than not enough. Finally, you’ll want to arrange your diamante, putting the synonyms or antonyms at the top and bottom, the adjectives next, on lines 2 and 6, the verbs after that on lines 3 and 5, and lastly your additional nouns on the middle line. In the //top// half of the poem – lines 2 and 3 – your adjectives and verbs should be ones from your first brainstorming column – words that have to do with line 1, like this: Sun Fiery, Yellow Burning, Blinding, Exploding In the //bottom// half of the poem – lines 5 and 6 – your adjectives and verbs should be related to the noun on line 7, like this: Shining, Orbiting, Reflecting Cold, Silver Moon On line 4, the line in the middle of the poem, the first two nouns should be related to the noun on line 1, and the last two nouns should be related to the noun on line 7, like this: Flame, Light, Night, Crescent When you put everything together, you’ll end up with something like this: Sun Fiery, Yellow Burning, Blinding, Exploding Flame, Light, Night, Crescent Shining, Orbiting, Reflecting Cold, Silver Moon

Things to Remember
As you begin writing your own diamantes, here are the important things to remember:
 * Diamantes can be about //anything//
 * They are 7 lines long
 * The word count is simple: 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1
 * Your lines should have: noun, adjectives, verbs, nouns, verbs, adjectives, noun
 * Try to “center” your poem on the page to give it a diamond shape
 * Most importantly, //have fun!//

Create your cell in TuxPaint Use your snipping tool and copy and paste it into a blank PowerPoint slide.Label the parts and add a text box and put your name in the lower right hand area of the slide.Use the line tools to make arrows to the parts.


 * The following is a glossary of animal cell terms:**
 * __cell membrane__** - the thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds the cell. The cell membrane is semipermeable, allowing some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others. **__centrosome__** - (also called the "microtubule organizing center") a small body located near the nucleus - it has a dense center and radiating tubules. The centrosomes is where microtubules are made. During cell division (mitosis), the centrosome divides and the two parts move to opposite sides of the dividing cell. The centriole is the dense center of the centrosome. **__cytoplasm__** - the jellylike material outside the cell nucleus in which the organelles are located. **__Golgi body__** - (also called the Golgi apparatus or golgi complex) a flattened, layered, sac-like organelle that looks like a stack of pancakes and is located near the nucleus. It produces the membranes that surround the lysosomes. The Golgi body packages proteins and carbohydrates into membrane-bound vesicles for "export" from the cell. **__lysosome__** - (also called cell vesicles) round organelles surrounded by a membrane and containing digestive enzymes. This is where the digestion of cell nutrients takes place. **__mitochondrion__** - spherical to rod-shaped organelles with a double membrane. The inner membrane is infolded many times, forming a series of projections (called cristae). The mitochondrion converts the energy stored in glucose into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for the cell. **__nuclear membrane__** - the membrane that surrounds the nucleus. **__nucleolus__** - an organelle within the nucleus - it is where ribosomal RNA is produced. Some cells have more than one nucleolus. **__nucleus__** - spherical body containing many organelles, including the nucleolus. The nucleus controls many of the functions of the cell (by controlling protein synthesis) and contains DNA (in chromosomes). The nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear membrane. **__ribosome__** - small organelles composed of RNA-rich cytoplasmic granules that are sites of protein synthesis. **__rough endoplasmic reticulum__** - (rough ER) a vast system of interconnected, membranous, infolded and convoluted sacks that are located in the cell's cytoplasm (the ER is continuous with the outer nuclear membrane). Rough ER is covered with ribosomes that give it a rough appearance. Rough ER transports materials through the cell and produces proteins in sacks called cisternae (which are sent to the Golgi body, or inserted into the cell membrane). **__smooth endoplasmic reticulum__** - (smooth ER) a vast system of interconnected, membranous, infolded and convoluted tubes that are located in the cell's cytoplasm (the ER is continuous with the outer nuclear membrane). The space within the ER is called the ER lumen. Smooth ER transports materials through the cell. It contains enzymes and produces and digests lipids (fats) and membrane proteins; smooth ER buds off from rough ER, moving the newly-made proteins and lipids to the Golgi body, lysosomes, and membranes. **__vacuole__** - fluid-filled, membrane-surrounded cavities inside a cell. The vacuole fills with food being digested and waste material that is on its way out of the cell.

Beginning the Church's liturgical year, Advent (from, "ad-venire" in Latin or "to come to") is the season encompassing the four Sundays (and weekdays) leading up to the celebration of prayer-and-worship/liturgical-resources/christmas/index.cfm|Christmas. The Advent season is a time of preparation that directs our hearts and minds to Christ’s second coming at the end of time and also to the anniversary of the Lord’s birth on Christmas. The final days of Advent, from December 17 to December 24, focus particularly on our preparation for the celebrations of the Nativity of our Lord (Christmas). Advent devotions remind us of the meaning of the season. An Advent Calendar can help you fully enter in to the season with daily activity and prayer suggestions to prepare you spiritually for the birth of Jesus Christ.

 * Yellow is for God's light so bright (yellow jellybeans were earned for sharing God's light through kindness to others)
 * Orange is for prayers at twilight (orange jellybeans were earned for attentive behavior during bedtime prayer time and night time bible story)
 * Black is for sweet rest at night (these were earned for going to bed good. we used blue though, as our kids are not fans of black jellybeans)

The rains fall soft upon your fields.

May green be the grass you walk on,

May blue be the skies above you,

May pure be the joys that surround you,

May true be the hearts that love you.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
