And just incase you forgot what an acrostic poem was…

The Ingredients for writing an “Acrostic Poem”  Acrostic poems are simple poems in which the first letter of each line forms a word or phrase (vertically). An acrostic poem can describe the subject or even tell a brief story about it.  This type of poem is one of the simplest written forms for students to write because it gives the students (you) a concrete format to use. You can write an acrostic poem based on your name, a favorite hobby, or something or someone who is important to you! S hining sun P retty hot R un outside!
