Below are instructions on how to create your wordle book report.  I have also posted the instructions in edmodo for you.  Be sure to follow each step and go all the way through the instructions so you don't lose any of your hard work!  

How to make a wordle

 

Step 1:         go to wordle.net (NOT .com)

Step 2:         click “create”

Step 3:         where it says “paste in a bunch of text,” type in your answers from the book report form- be sure to check your spelling

Step 4:         click “go”

Step 5:         choose the colors and layout you like by scrolling down and clicking “randomize” until you see a look you like

Step 6:         click “save to public gallery”

***These next steps are VERY important.  Follow exactly or you will lose all your work.***

If you are creating your wordle at school, follow the “AT SCHOOL” instructions.  If you are working on it at home, follow the “AT HOME” instructions.

This is an example of a new format we're going to try out for book reports this year.  My example took about 5 minutes to complete and is extremely incomplete in terms of the book report aspect. I think you all will have a great time with it, but we need to really make sure the quality of the information is way better than what I threw together here.  We'll talk in class and go through the specifics next week.
