Since our schools’ shutdown, teachers have had no other choice but to embrace distance learning as well as to find alternative ways to motivate students and keep track of their learning. We are diving into new digital tools to engage them and I thought we should be sharing the outcome of some of their work.
There are many online word cloud generators which enable us to create unique word cloud art. With this tool we produce images made of words which are very visual and can be used for different purposes.
Our 3 ESO students have used the app to describe their favourite singer. In the activity they had to include adjectives to describe his/her appearance and personality, nouns to tell us about their hobbies, their most popular songs and any piece of information that might have seemed interesting to them. I made my own word cloud to show them as a model and they then created their own images.
Each student from our 1 ESO group created a word cloud from a list of words related to our topic of study: activities and routines.
I am really proud of my students. They always exceed my expectations whenever I pose a challenge to them.
