‘Meowtastic’ & ‘She was a woman changed by his blood ‘: Hero & Villian Acrostic Poems

Students wrote Acrostic Poems, in which certain letters in each line form a word or words. The theme was ‘Heroes,’ both real and imagined, or Supervillains.

Lesson Note: “You don’t need permission to make your art. No one needs an artistic license or a permit to begin making stuff. You just need to begin. Don’t wait for an invitation to join the club for some validation from outside. If you’re doing the verb, you own the noun. So do your verbs. Dance. Sew. Design. Craft. Act. Perform. Cook. Make. Create, create, create.”– Sheryl Garratt, The Creative Life

Batman Hope W.

Believe in me at all times
A time you didn’t believe in me, I was at my lowest!
Times you don’t believe I’m nothing
Mostly, you do and don’t believe in me
All times you want me to do good.
No. Not at all times I’m going to do good.

Allah Hasan A.

A whimsical prophet
Long before my time
Lighting the way for others
A man named Mohommad
He healed and blessed many in the
name of Allah, spreading the message
of Islam.

Big and strong and fights
A lot of criminals

And like Superman
Never gives up on the Chi.
