Writing Activity: Acrostic

For our first meeting, we introduced ourselves, and then everyone tried to write an acrostic. According to Wikipedia, an acrostic is a "poem or other form of writing in which the first letter, syllable or word of each line, paragraph of other recurring feature in the text spells out a word or message." Take a look at some of our responses.

Wish

by Maytha Al-Malki

                                           As I would say, We were kids who loved nothing
                                       more than playing. I was the one who would play after hours.
I would sleep thinking about playing in the Sand. With all the people I spend my
                                                     days with Hand in hand.
