Literacy: Acrostics following Donavan's visit

This morning we were visited by Donavan Christopher, a poet and author. He taught us some of his wonderful skills in creating rhythmic poetry. Can you say Get a bit o' butter, get a bit o' bread? Try to say it faster and faster.

At home, think of an acrostic for RAP. If you don't know what an acrostic is, you weren't listening! There is an example on the board above. Don't copy the example, though. Think of your own words beginning with R, A and P. Can you think of acrostics for other words, like POETRY? Enjoy thinking of your acrostics, and write them in your literacy book.
