Use Wordle!

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

How to Use This Blog

Greetings Students!

Welcome to my English class! I would like to begin by explaining the purpose of this blog and how it may be useful to you in seeking success in this course. We will be discussing numerous topics this year including, of course, literature, grammar, vocabulary and writing. On occasion, unfortunately, we run out of class time and are unable to bring closure to our discussions. I will, therefore, post blogs that may extend on class discussions, pose questions, provide feedback, and also clarify homework, classwork and project expectations.

I hope that you will visit this blog often in hopes of enriching your education in this course as well as taking part in the discussions on here.

I look forward to a wonderful, fun year with you all!

All the best,
Ms. Grady
