ReplyDeleteI love Wordle, It is fun and very useful
ReplyDeleteUSE WORDLE for an attractive WORD SPLASH which is a prereading/prelearning activity. You can type in the words from a unit you are about the teach or a story/book you/they are going to read and have students look at the words and brainstorm what they think the unit/story/book is about. They define any of the words they do not know and then talk about the unit/story/book and why each word is important to the topic. Gets thei rbrains engaged pror to the learning/reading. save the WORDLe and use with your promethean board in a flipchart.
