An Acrostic Poem

Here is a sample of an Acrostic Poem:


Students can write their own acrostic poem. The primary word can be:

• A place in the neighborhood (library, school, etc.)
• The name of their neighborhood (Harlem, New York, etc.)
• Their own name
• Another word related to the project

Students can write a single word, a phrase, or a sentence for each line of the poem. Each line starts with one letter from the primary word.

Students can finish their poems by next session. They can draw pictures or you can take pictures with a camera. The poems will be the first page of our PowerPoint presentation.
