Yesterday, I asked my students to write Poems. Since it was the first time for them to write Poems in English, so I taught them Cinquain. A very simple form of Poems for the beginners. Seeing how enthusiastic and interested they are made me so happy. I am so proud of my students and here are some of their works. Please enjoy!

school due to the old tradition that forbidden
girls of her age to go to school.
Although Kartini
stayed at home, she read all newspapers, magazines and books that she got
