I have been trying to use Wordle today and once I put the words in and hit the create button, nothing happens but you see in the bottom left the yellow caution symbol with an exclamation point and it days DONE, but with errors on page. Is it a problem with WORDLE today or is there a problem with my district’s
firewall, etc?

I was just playing around with Wordle earlier today when an idea came to me. It would be a useful activity for the beginning of a unit to promote vocabulary recall.
I would have students brainstorm vocabulary related to the theme of the unit and then create a Word Cloud. I would then do a peer review to check for spelling errors.They would then save the Word Cloud and use it as their desktop background for at least one week. Students who must bring laptops to school everyday are thus exposed to the target language vocabulary all day long. It would be a good activation of prior knowledge. It would also aid vocabulary retention.

I just recently discovered Wordle myself and love your thoughts about how it is a tool that can tell a “visual story.” Your idea about using Wordle to create a cloud of attributes or characteristics of a story’s protagonist is such a good one. I’m thinking of trying it in the fall when we delve into a study of character.
