Back to School\u2014ABC\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n

I remember the excitement of going back to school every year, both as a student and a teacher. Friends to see, things to learn, books to read! I barely slept the night before. Always, I loved getting back to the schedule of fall.<\/p>\n

Write one line\u2014five words\u2014that begin in order with the letters A, B, C, D, E.<\/p>\n

This line will be the first line of your poem.<\/p>\n

Add four more lines. Try to begin line 2 with B, line 3 with C, line 4 with D, and line 5 with E.<\/p>\n

That’s it! If you try this, let me know in the comments! I’d love to see what you come up with.<\/p>\n

Remember the rules:<\/p>\n
