Wordle

Wordle is a tool for generating 'word clouds' from texts that you provide. Using it I have proposed a pre-reading activity for the tale ' Rabbit grows a crop of money'.

In this word cloud it is presented an extract from the text that is constantly repeated. The purpose of this activity is that students have to put in order the words, so they will obtain this: Now the rabbit felt in a worse plight than ever, and he wished that he had not been so foolish as to lie. Once they are able to read the whole sentence students are going to be encouraged to write what they think that rabbit have done to feel in a worse plight than ever. This activity tries to make students think about what they are going to read in order to motivate them to read the whole story because they want to know what will happen.
