Acrostics for Learning

An Acrostic Poem uses the letters in a topic word to begin each line. All lines of the poem should relate to or describe the topic word. The basic lesson was projected from http://www.readwritethink.org/materials/acrostic/ The acrostics from blk 7 and 9 were class efforts and pretty impressive, if I do say so!
