Teach Vocabulary Relationships through Wordle
This image, and others like it, can be created at http://www.wordle.net/. Simply type in words you wish your students to link to a theme and click "go." It's that simple.
Need a phrase to appear? To have the words "papyrus paper" appear together, connect them with ~. For example, enter the text below:
papyrus~paper
Want to make a word appear larger for emphasis (perhaps the theme of your unit?) Just type the word multiple times. It will only appear once, but larger than your other text.

Students can type a sentence or two about their day in a graphic word processing program such as PixWriter. Just copy and paste the text into your blog. Then parents can read what their child did in school today.
