Space studies and writing practice are both brought to life with these fun acrostic poem frames.
Give the easier, shorter-line version to younger/less able writers, and the long-line version for confident writers. With the first, ask for a single describing word to tie in with each letter down the page; for the second, ask for a phrase or sentence on each line, again tying in with the letters down the page. See Examples sheet for ideas to prompt for - supplied for each version.
There’s space for an extra letter below each. Perhaps suggest making PLANET into PLANETS, for a line starting with S, or suggest they give their planet a letter name, e.g. Planet G or Planet H. Then they can think of a word/phrase starting with that letter too.
Space is provided on each version for student’s own illustration.
Supports Literacy (vocabulary, phonics, creative writing, poetry, hand-writing and presentation), and Space studies.
