Assignment: Show me what you have learned about the Challenges to Slavery and Succession by writing a poem about slavery. You will use the Diamante template below to help you. You can use your notes to help you.
Task 1: Pick two topics from the list below to write about. Pick something you feel confident you know a lot about.

• Attack on Fort Sumter
Task 2: Examine the structure of a Diamente Poem by reading the information below.
A diamante poem (also known as a diamond poem) is a seven-line poem that forms the shape of a diamond. Instead of sentences, diamante poems are made with individual nouns, adjectives and verbs, and can either describe two similar topics or two opposite topics. Diamante poems do not have to rhyme.
Below is the correct layout for a diamante poem:
Noun
adjective, adjective
verb, verb, verb
noun, noun, noun, noun
verb, verb, verb
adjective, adjective
Noun
A Noun is a person, place, thing or idea. Example: Abe Lincoln
An Adjective describes or modi¬fies a noun. Example: Tall, Brave
