What is it?
Acrostic poetry is a poem that is constructed by using the first or last letters in a name, word, or phrase that spells out a description of what you are trying to say or remember. This is a great tool to use for student ice-breakers to help the student discover who they are through writing; and also a short, fun way to get to know students and allow them to get to know each other.
For example:
Just going with the flow of things
Excited for what the future holds
Self-sufficient woman
Sporty, active, and healthy
In opposition of discrimination and suppression
Energizes others with positivity
