Wordle~ Fun With Words

In January I've used the website wordle http://www.wordle.net/ in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  I have the kids create a Wordle Bubble and share their dreams.  The students prewrite in their writer's notebooks then as their final draft, type in their narrative, poem, or story about their dreams in Wordle.  When they are done.  The print them out to publish their work in their portfolio.

Here is one of many examples of wordle art!



Remember:  The writer's notebook is to collect and try ideas.  This is not where the finished product goes.  I have a separate folder with each child's name on it for this.  It is important for the students to understand that writing is a process!
