Earth Day Acrostic Poem Student Example

Above: Example of Earth Day Acrostic Poem Globe Template

Earth Day Elementary School Students Lesson Plans Ideas blue bullet point For these E.A.R.T.H. Day acrostic poems, students lightly color the background of the continents and oceans in their globes, and then use a dark pen to write their acrostic poems on the lines.

blue bullet point Students cut out the globe templates along the thick black border, and then they will have unique globe shaped poetry templates.

blue bullet point These Earth Day poems will make a colorful bulletin board display in your classroom that will highlight this important date which is recognized around the world.

blue bullet point This set of Earth Day lesson plans includes:

  • first draft printable worksheets
  • black and white globe templates and printable worksheets
  • globe templates and printable worksheets in 5 different colors
  • matching 5 page bulletin board display banner
  • 18 globe bulletin board accent pieces with conservation tips written inside of them

blue bullet point Everything that you need to complete these Earth Day poems is included in this teaching resources set. All that you will need is scissors, coloring pencils, and pens.

blue bullet point For creative writing assignments, I believe that it is important for students to go through the steps of the writing process.

blue bullet point For this reason, my students never begin writing their Earth Day poems on their final draft templates, instead they write on first draft worksheets. Then, they edit and revise their poems on their own, with a partner, or in individual writing conferences with me.


Below is an example of the first draft worksheet that
is included in this set of Earth Day teaching resources.


Earth Day April 22 Acrostic Poem Worksheet

Fun Lesson Plan Ideas for Earth Day Elementary Students blue bullet point After students have edited and revised the first drafts of their poems, you should give them their final draft globe templates.

blue bullet point The Earth Day globe templates measure 9 inches in length and 7 inches in width.

blue bullet point For their final drafts, students lightly color the continents and oceans using color pencils. Then, using a dark ink pen, students write their Earth Day poems on the lines.

blue bullet point These globe templates have thick border lines, so it is easy for the students to cut out their globe poetry templates themselves.

blue bullet pointBy using these unique globe templates, you will be able to create a dynamic poetry bulletin board display that highlights an important environmental theme as well.

Teaching Resources and Ideas for Celebrating Earth Day blue bullet point As I am introducing this poetry assignment to my students, I like to begin by sharing my Earth Day poem with my students.

blue bullet point At the front of my classroom, I display an example of what the final draft globe templates look like.

blue bullet point By providing a visual example at the very beginning of this Earth Day lesson, my students know what their poetry assignments will look like when they have completed their final drafts.

blue bullet point For final draft poetry assignments, when I give my students fun templates to write on, I have found that they tend to use their best effort, and they are more careful to not make careless spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors.


This set of poetry teaching resources includes 5 colors of Earth Day globes.
Below is an example of the red template.
