Instructional Ideas
- Use this at the beginning of the year as a getting-to-know-you activity
- Have individuals perfect their poems, type them up, illustrate them, and post them around the room
Classroom Considerations
- The resource lists a few sample acrostic poems you may wish to use with your class, but doesn't include them; either look these up and provide copies, find your own examples, or write a few samples
Pros
- Includes graphic organizers and worksheets for the brainstorming and drafting processes
- Clearly outlines a step-by-step process for writing these poems
Cons
- Since samples are not provided, the lesson does not actually show what an acrostic poem looks like
