Define yourself

Write an acrostic poem that describes you and your world.

Begin by making a list of words that tell who you are.

Think of words that tell about such things as:

  • your appearance

  • your habits

  • what you like to eat

  • what you like to do

  • people important in your world

  • places you visit

  • events in your life

  • other things that are important to you.

Construct your poem so that the first letter of each line in order, spells your name.

Share your finished poem with a friend in your class.
