This week the students and I looked at a number of acrostics to discuss the differences between those with just adjectives and those that tell a story. We discussed which ones they thought gave us the most information, which ones were the most evocative, and why. Then the students tried their hands at writing different versions themselves.
From Ms. Gonzalez's Class:
Oscar
Oh no, police
Struck again
Crazy is what people feel because they
Are losing their families and
Rights because of immigration
Marnee
Motherly (with children)
Annoying (sometimes)
Rocker (punk)
Nice
Excited (all the time)
Electric guitar (she plays)
Rosario
Rosy is
Odd,
Sits on a rock all day
And never says much,
Restless and hopeless,
Innocent and getting
Old.
From Ms. Formisano's Class:
Kathy
All the time having fun
Tuesday a tired day with practice
Having fun and always happy
Yells when she's really mad
Maria
Makes
A lot of
Roses
In
Art
Amor
Always screams at a sight of a
Mouse and
Other
Rodents
From Mr. Lukas' Class:
Kimberly
Keeping the
Importance of
Moving on
Beyond
Everything
Regardless of the obstacles in
Life and
Years to come
Susi
Silent night
Unlike other
Stories,
It barely starts.
Edwin
Excited at night
Done with school
With homework
In the house
Nothing to do
