Task 2 Visual Learning

I explored the sites “25 Interesting Ways to Use Wordle in the Classroom” and Andy Fisher’s “10 More Ways to Use Wordle in the Classroom.” I found many good ideas that I plan to use with my classes this coming year. Among the topic are the following: writing about selves, writing expectations of the classroom, defining skill using synonyms, summarizing based upon a prompt, poll of a favorite hero from literature, comparison and contrast of literary themes, character traits analysis prereading activity for a novel or play to predict plot, characters, etc.
I have created a Wordle to use as an introduction to one of the first short stories we will be reading in the fall. It is on characterization in “My Friend Flicka.” I plan on having my students create their own Wordles on characterization and similar topics throughout the year. This can be for either an introductory or a summary activity. I have copied the URL from Gallery View and saved it as a Diigo bookmark.
