Acrostic Poem

For this assignment, you use your Full First and Last name to create words that describe yourself (adjectives) as a person.  This activity allows you to share information about yourself with other's and also allows you to get to know your peer's name/personality better.

To begin the assignment, type the first letter of your first name and hit enter after each letter (your name should be spelled down the left side of the MS Word document).  I would like you to enhance each letter of your name with different font selections to allow your name to stand out from the words used to describe yourself.

An example is attached below.
