ReadWriteThink is a cool website providing educators with language teaching materials. We can ask our students to introduce themselves by writing their acrostic poems. What they need to do is to use the letters of their names to start each line.

 

This tool enables our students to brainstorm on the topic -themselves- first.

Then, they are provided with some hint words to begin their lines. Completing their acrostic poems, they can save and share them with you through email.

We can either introduce it in class and ask our students to write their acrostic poems as homework and bring the hardcopy to the class or have them write their poems in class and share with us. At the end of the process,  sharing poems in class would give us the opportunity to get to know our students with more details while they realize their creative potential within themselves.
