Art and Acrostics

Poetry and Art seem a natural fit, and I really thought that a friend of mine who teaches third grade did a neat job integrating the two with her students.








The teacher was doing a unit on different types of poetry, and had
already integrated art into the presentation of diamante poems, cinquain poems, and haiku poems, but was searching for a way for the children to have artistic expression in connection with an acrostic poem. That is when she came across this interesting method of design and decided to have students write an acrostic poem using their names. I think the results were aesthetically appealing, and the students had fun presenting their finished poetry.
