Steps: acrostic writing

1. Decide on a topic: a word for your acrostic.
--> one of your acrostics is your own name.

2. make a brainstorm for your acrostic

3. write the words and sentences starting with the correct letter in your acrostic

4. one of your acrostics has to rhyme, in couplets and/or triplets!

3 types:

1. your own name, only words (characteristics): no need for rhyme
2. a topic that you like/hate, with words or sentences, no need for rhyme
3. another topic that you like/hate, with sentences that rhyme in couplets and/or a triplet
   
   

brainstorm topics!
