DIVERSITY POEM: DIRECTIONS
Now that you have studied DIVERSITY, you should have some idea of some of the important ideas we discussed
and read in the articles titled, “Different is Good” & ”Diversity: Advantages and Disadvantages”.
Procedure:
Write an acrostic poem about the important aspects of your studies. To create the acrostic, you will use the first
letters of DIVERSITY. You will write a line, based on the readings, about DIVERSITY that begins with each
letter. For example, here is an acrostic about school:
Such a friendly place.
Coming here helps me learn reading, math, and science.
Hallways are where we catch up with our friends.
Out of my lessons come homework so I can practice what
learned in class.
Our
teachers help us understand what we are supposed to
learn.
Lastly,
school can be a lot of fun!
Write an acrostic poem about DIVERSITY using this same format.
