tagxedo or wordle websites


I've been using http://www.wordle.net/ in the classroom for a few months and I really like it. I used it to make the cover of the class yearbook. Another thing I did with it was I took all of the character traits that applied to Karena in Is. of the Blue Dolphins and made a wordle out of them. I had the students pick three of Karena's character traits from the wordle and write a paragraph using text based evidence from the story. I just found this new site http://www.tagxedo.com/ and I like it even better. The shape option is really cool. Christine

  1. Hi Christine!

    I was wondering if you had the theme poster for "Overcoming Challenges" from Beth Newingman's website. I can't seem to find it!

    Love your blog by the way!
