Hello! Hello! Come and see my beautiful word cloud that took me forever to complete because I needed to download a few programs! Bask in its glory!….
Okay I am done showing off, but I am extremely proud of my work. It may look like a confusing mess of words, but my cloud holds some of my favorite book titles and I created it on: http://www.wordle.net/
While I was making this word cloud, I thought it would be interesting to present a word cloud, such as this one, to my future students that contained a list of books I prepared for them. The books would just be fun reads to get my students to read more. As well, I think it could be cool to create a game around the word cloud. The students would have to guess the book titles in groups of 5 and the winning groups would get to pick their books first. Overall, I think It is important to give students choice in their reading, especially if it is just for fun!
I challenge you all to use this site as well…..
if you want to be dangerous…
like me!

Ohh I like you idea of using a word cloud for students to choose which books they can read! I’ve seen word clouds but I have never made one. I feel like it would take a while to make a big one but definitely worth it!

Adding the game layer to the word cloud is an excellent idea. I like to use it as a preview for a book or poem that they are about to read.
