traits of character. Then our psychologist (name) will give her comments.

Синквейн – это пятистишие, где первая строка – одно ключевое слово, определяющее содержание синквейна. Вторая строка – два прилагательных, характеризующих данное понятие. Третья строка – три глагола, показывающих действие понятия. Четвертая строка – короткое предложение, в котором автор высказывает свое отношение к проблеме. Пятая строка – одно слово, обычно существительное, через которое человек выражает свои чувства, ассоциации, связанные с данным понятием. Например,
Урок
Интересный, запоминающийся
Вдохновил, заинтересовал, запомнился

Здорово.
Так как урок был посвящен выбору профессии, я предложила ребятам придумать синквейн о профессиях, например,
Doctor
Caring, attentive
Examines, treats, cures
Helps people
Satisfaction.
Дети выполняют подобные задания с большим интересом.)
