Word Clouds

I just love word clouds! You can utilize word clouds in different lesson in your classroom. You can used them to teacher your students new vocabulary, review for an upcoming test, reading comprehension, response to literature. You can have the students create a word cloud to introduce themselves the first day of school. You can used them in brainstorming a topic for writing or any other subject. The list can go on. Here are some free sites that I use to make word clouds.  I made this word cloud on Tagul.
