Wordle


I love wordle (www.wordle.net)! You simply copy and paste in your text and it creates an amazing word design.I tried it out with my students today. We are working on a biography unit and learning how to summarize information. We worked on a class summary and then we put it in Wordle! The kids were amazed when they saw which words came out bolder than others and we had a great discussion about which other words we felt should be bigger to represent more of Robert Munch's life. My kids are going to do a wordle activity next week for a biography that they have read independently. Here's a link to our class' Robert Munch Wordle.
