You must have recognized the Dutch national anthem. Have you noticed that the first letter of each couplet form the name: Willem? That is what we call an acrostic.
The easiest acrostic is probably the one made from your name.
Write the letters of your name under each other, each one a new line.
Example
M
O
N
I
Q
U
E
Write something that describes you, starting with the letter on that line. The description can be just a word, or a sentence.
Example
Music (because I love listening to music)
Organized (not that I'm really organized, but I like when things are organized, do you too?
Nervous (I tend to be a little too nervous at times)
Inspirational (as teachers we always try to be inspiring)
Quiet (yes, I am a quiet teacher)
Uplifting (if a student feels down, I'll try yo uplift him/her)
Education (speaks for itself, right?
Remember, your sentences do not have to rhyme.
