Acrostic Examples
What is the poem about?
Gigantic flames
Remember 1666
Every child knows
Ash floated everywhere
Thousands of homes destroyed
Flames all around
Inside the bakery
Red sky
Everything covered in soot
Over the city
From house to house
Lots of people escaped
On foot, by boat and carriage
Nearly every house
Demolished
On Pudding Lane – Help! Help! But
Not many people died.

Finally, we use our list of words and phrases to create each line. Don’t
