WRITING
 ACROSTIC POEM
Description
An acrostic is a poem or other word composition in which the first letter of each new line spells out a word, message or the alphabet.. Acrostic poetry is a form of short

verse constructed so that the initial letters of each line taken consecutively form words. An acrostic poem is one in which a certain feature -- for example, the first letter -- from every

line combines to spell out a message -- usually the name of the subject, for instance the person to whom the acrostic poem is dedicated.

Reflected Learning Goals

As stated, acrostic poems focus on a single subject, which is spelled out vertically through the lines of the poem. Frequently, these poems are about people, and the

word spelled is the subject's name. In this activity I wasn’t expecting that I was able to make an Acrostic poem because I, myself is really not good in writing. But, during this activity I

was able to make it and I was impressed by myself because after all this years I can make something more and discover more in myself.

Reflection
It has been demonstrated, across a variety of investigations, that writing activities yield a number of intellectual, physiological, and emotional benefits to individuals.

These bene- fits include improve memory function, decreased symptomatology, and greater feelings of happiness. Strengthens confidence. Another advantage of writing is that it can
improve communication skills which will facilitate improvements in confidence and self-esteem. Writing can make it easier for you to communicate complex viewpoints more

effectively, practice persuasive skills and grow your 'voice'. Writing your feeling and expressing yourself in writing is very one of the most therapeutic thing to do.
