Wordles are Simply Awesome!

...so why am I working on my blog? I don't even have any Cool Cats (students) with me to update or share learning with. Well, I was cleaning off my computer desktop and I came across this wordle that my Yearbook Club students helped me create earlier this school year. I thought it was appropriate to publish to our learning blog as a record of just what our school looks like. Perhaps we will discuss it during our first Unit of Inquiry.

Wordle for Character Descriptions

Put it into a Cloud

The Marty McGuire Think Tank Group

The Veronica Grace Think Tank Group

For Chapter 5 and 6 in our Marty McGuire GRA book, we decided to create a Wordle for both Marty and Veronica Grace. We used as many words or phrases that we could think of from the book that described our characters and ordered them by importance. We then placed them in the Wordle creator and let the magic happen. This was a great activity to build our vocabulary and practice our roles and responsibilities in a team. We also thought about the color and font that best represented our characters. Let us know what you think!
