Creative Acrostic Poem

This acrostic poem depicts many of the main ideas related to creating a positive writing environment in the classroom.  Each of the concepts relates to one another and builds on what being a creative writer means and how we can help as teachers.  I created this acrostic poem in hopes that it could be displays on the walls in my classroom to encourage students to be creative when they are writing.
