As the 100th day of school
approaches, I’ve been brainstorming all of the different ways that I can incorporate
100 into my lessons. I’ve seen about a million ideas online, but they all seem
to be a bit too young for my 6th graders. I’ve been looking for an
excuse to have my class play around with tagxedo.com because I just love word
clouds and have been using the site to make one for each week’s spelling words
and hanging on our word wall.
So… I decided why not have the students come up
with 100 words that they would use to describe themselves and put it in the
form of a word cloud. I found that the task was just the right amounts of
challenge and fun to make it a 100-day-worthy activity. Plus, this makes for a great computer task board station. Try it out with your
class or play around with it just for fun. Enjoy!
