ACROSTIC CONTEST
Pick a character from any story we read in class, or an Accelerated Reading book you are reading, and create an acrostic using his/her name. You may enter more than one acrostic into the contest. Each acrostic you submit is worth one point of extra credit.

Acrostics will be judged on creativity, accuracy, and appearance.

All entries are due at the end of each month.

Good Luck!!
