Middle [6th-8th] Worksheet

Wordle Worksheet

Created on April 07, 2014 by MrsImpey

I use this worksheet with 6th graders at the end of the year. Students answer the questions about art and then go through and highlight any and all words that relate to art. Then, we spend two periods in the computer lab typing the words, without commas, into a Microsoft Word file. Students then copy and paste their words (repeats and all) into the Worlde program on the internet to create some interesting word art!

    Have you tried Tagxedo.com? It allows the option for creating the word cloud in the shape of your own images, so you could have the kids put the words into the shapes of famous sculptures or portraits. We do it with the 4th graders as a self portrait project. They do words about themselves and put them into the shape of their own faces. ( got the idea and resource from here:
