Word Cloud Assignment

Inspiration comes from anywhere, right?

During my prep, I was looking through a catalog for posters and textbooks when I came across a rather interesting set of posters called "word clouds."

These entail taking a phrase or word or idea and generating a 'cloud' of related words around it. I have included a few scavenged from the internet.








As I thought about this, I thought "I want to use this with our poetry unit." So I chucked what I had planned, and we read some Emily Dickenson poems and created our own "word cloud posters" via comiclife.

My word cloud for "There is no frigate like a book" is below.
