Word clouds
 

Check this website: http://www.wordle.net/

Type a list of words or a paragraph of a text and then create a "cloud of words".

Thank you for the link. Smile
Could you kindly teach me how to work with "word clouds". I have never heard of it before but it looks interesting.

Hi Tisha
 
You could use it to introduce the vocabulary for a new theme. It�s just an artistic way of presenting words.
Or you could brainstorm a topic with your students and then write all the ideas they come up with. Then type it in the appropriate box and "voil�", you have a creative presentation. You can change the fonts, the layout, the colours...

Thank you manonski and damielle. I�m not such a practical person and it�s good to get ideas about how to use it. . I in the site that the signs to be created are very eye catching.   That means good for my students to pay attention Wink and to remember words.
