Discuss what the text might be about, mood, genre, contextual clues etc. Identify and define unfamiliar words before reading.

Then have students make predictions based on the word cloud. Students can revisit the word cloud at the end of the unit or story and use it to help wrap up their learning by completing a writing task using some of the words. This can be a great way to build vocabulary, especially if synonyms are used for some of the key words.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09118299510969829741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4799239198672342649.post-33902396599546934382012-06-30T21:55:43.235+01:002012-06-30T21:55:43.235+01:00Leyburn School, thanks for the idea! :-)Leyburn School, thanks for the idea! :-)Primary Ideashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12408223042916639356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4799239198672342649.post-62514693726772734182012-06-30T20:12:55.165+01:002012-06-30T20:12:55.165+01:00Children create word clouds of their weekly spelli...Children create word clouds of their weekly spellings as it is a better visual prompt than just a last of words.Leyburn Schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079638636083630414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4799239198672342649.post-66951082749306673032012-01-30T12:44:06.227+00:002012-01-30T12:44:06.227+00:00@Mick_Sweeney, thanks for the comment.

I might get them to write down 5 things they want to get out of the year, the class, what they want to do, how they want it to run...etc then word cloud their answers into a big poster. Just a thought.<br />Thanks for the post and inspiration!<br /><br />Cheers<br />@Mick_SweeneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
