Hi everyone,
Your homework for Wednesday is to find a newspaper article on the topic of your choice. Then, you will create a word cloud for this article to identify key words.
http://www.wordle.net/
You will then bring in a copy of the word cloud, as well as a summary that you write on the main ideas of the article. The summary should be about 150 words.
In class on Wednesday, you will switch word clouds and try to write a summary of your partner's article. Then we will compare the summaries and see how accurate they are!
Also, to develop topical vocabulary, please identify at least 3 new vocabulary words related to your topic, and their meaning. Please bring these to class.
Have a great weekend everyone!
See you Wednesday!
