Phase: | After/Explain/Elaborate |
Activity: | After completing a lesson on adjectives, students will be given a brief tutorial or refresher on the Tagxedo site. I would highly suggest allowing your students time to become comfortable with this site, before giving a graded assignment. The student will be directed to the computer to use the Tagxedo website to create an adjective word cloud. After accessing the Tagxedo website, select the Create tab. Then choose a shape, under the shape option. Type in text that describes your cloud shape. The more often a word appears in your text, the larger it will appear. You can then modify the color, fonts, and theme of your word cloud. |
Assessment Strategies: | Students will be graded out of 12 possible points. One point for each adjective. |
Advanced Preparation: | Ensure that you have several computers with printer access for multiple users. |
Variation Tips (optional): | Word clouds also known as word splashes can be used for a variety of classroom activities. |
