Acrostic Poems
This week we are going to be writing an acrostic style poem
based on Happiness.
Acrostics are a fun poetic form that anyone can write.
To begin with, an acrostic is a poem in which the first letters of each line
spell out a word or phrase. Usually, the first letter of
each line is capitalised. This makes it easier to see the word spelled out
vertically down the page. Acrostics are easy to write because they don’t need
to rhyme, and you don’t need to worry about the rhythm of the lines. Each line
can be as long or as short as you want it to be.
Please
can you spend this week with your child discussing:
·
Places that make you child happy
·
People that make your child happy
·
Things/activities or belongings that make them happy
·
What happiness means to them
·
Any sayings they have learnt about happiness that they would like
to include.
