Winter Acrostic Poem

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is a creative writing task designed for students to engage with poetry through the construction of an acrostic poem related to winter. The term “Winter Acrostic” is printed at the top of the page, with each letter of the word “WINTER” listed vertically on the left-hand side twice, followed by lines for writing. Students are prompted to write words or phrases that start with the corresponding letter of “WINTER” to form a poem or a collection of winter-related terms. An illustration of a character dressed in winter attire suggests the seasonal theme for the acrostic poem.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students about acrostic poems, a form of poetry where the first letter of each line spells out a word or message related to the poem’s theme. It encourages students to think creatively and to explore vocabulary associated with winter. The task helps to reinforce the understanding of how poetry can be structured and to appreciate the use of themes in writing. Moreover, it provides an opportunity for students to practice brainstorming and to learn how to express ideas within the constraints of a poetic form.
