Wordle is a great teaching tool that makes it easy for teachers to transform mundane primary sources, documents, or vocabulary words into aesthetically pleasing eye candy. Can you guess which famous document in American History is pictured above?
If you guessed the preamble to the United States Constitution… you would be correct!
Wordle.net is a free web resource that can be used in many different ways. Students can create a wordle describing their strengths by having their most prevalent traits stand out as larger fonts within the word cloud. You can take captions from a certain novel or famous speech and have the students try to guess the book/speech by identifying the key words. You can implement this as a pre-writing strategy. You can post your classroom rules/norms using this format. You can take a “wordle poll” in order to get feedback on how the majority of the class is feeling. Make a wordle word wall. Wordle is great for classroom warm-ups or as an anticipatory set. Needless to say, there are a countless number of ideas on how to use wordle in the classroom. If you can think of another interesting way to incorporate wordle into the classroom, please feel free to leave a comment.
