Well, its goodbye to Narrative writing and hello to Procedural. I have decided that my intermediate students are beyond the “make a sandwich and write a how-to” so we are going to use Scratch and Animoto.

However, before anything gets published I may have them copy their text into Wordle and print some fancy art in white and black. Next I may have them colour all the nouns red, verbs blue etc. I would use this as a diagnostic piece. We don’t do much in terms of word study with our writing framework so it would be nice to see some grammar pieces. We may also do it as a class on the SMART Board

How do you use Wordle?
