Fun with Text Reflection

Wordle

Wordle is a great tool to use in the classroom. Not only is it free and easy to use, but kids will love it! You can use Wordle for a variety of different things. You could use it for terms/definitions, capturing key point, vocabulary –especially in Spanish, spelling lists, a list of synonyms or antonyms, or even an about me project for the students. Students can create words to describe themselves and their Wordle could be shared in class so that the students can get to know each other better. When I taught my middle school lesson I saw Wordles hung up in the hallway that had one word really big and then all the other words were words that described that one topic, kind of like a definition. Be creative! Wordle can be used in so many ways. Check it out for your classroom!
