A pocket book is a unique way to collect information and samples of student work to create a portfolio that develops along a theme. A pocket book consists of several construction-paper pockets stuffed full of a student’s work samples. Each pocket has a topic that develops the theme. A construction-paper cover is added to the book, and everything is bound together to create something a student and his or her family will cherish for years.

An acrostic is a free-verse poem in which each line begins with a letter of the subject word. The lines of the verse tell something about the subject of the verse. In simple acrostics, the lines can stand alone; more complex forms carry a thought through the entire verse.

Steps to Follow

1. Explain the acrostic form to your students, using several verses that you’ve written on charts or overhead transparencies.

Candied

Apples

Nougat

Divinity

Yum, yum!

Chocolate is the best, I think.

Another favorite is caramel.

Now won’t you have some?

Dentists say it’s not good for you.

Yet, who can resist a bite or two?

2. Hang up fi ve large pieces of paper and head each with one letter of the word CANDY.

3. Brainstorm with the class and write phrases that relate to candy, beginning with one of the letters of the word. Young students are likely to come up with single words. Guide them to think of phrases as well. You may have to assist by rearranging words or suggesting synonyms and alternate ways of stating an idea so that the phrases begin with the correct letters.

4. Let students write their own acrostic verses on a copy of page 24. They may use phrases from the class lists or make up their own statements.
