Creating Word Webs and Wordles

Today we are going to learn how to create a word web and then turn it into a word collage.  Think about a topic that you know a lot about--it could be a season, like fall, a sport, a book, or some hobby.  Go to Inspiration on your computer and create a web of all the words that you can think of related to that topic.  Once you finish, print out your web.

Using the words from your web, create a Wordle--a cool word collage.  Be sure to print out two color copies.
