Acrostic Poetry - teaching resource

Acrostic Poetry – Creative Reading and Writing 

Inspire creative thinking and poetic flair in your pupils with this structured acrostic poetry lesson. This resource introduces learners to the features and structure of acrostic poems through three engaging examples, helping them analyse layout, vocabulary, and poetic devices.

Pupils are then guided through the process of planning and writing their own acrostic poems, with a focus on building confidence and creativity. Differentiated Bronze, Silver, and Gold activities support a wide range of abilities, making the lesson suitable for both whole-class and individual tasks.

Ideal as a one-off poetry session or as part of a broader English or literacy unit.
