Globalization Wordles

Students are using wordle.net to make word clouds that show their opinion on whether or not globalization is good for the world.  During the Olympics, students used wordles to show different winter sports. Building on that, students now have to think critically about our topic of globalization.  They have to develop an opinion and then again think critically to decide how best to visually show with words the support for their opinion.  This assessment looks at their knowledge of globalization, their ability to form and support an opinion and their ability to use technology. The students enjoy using wordle, and I look forward to seeing all their creations! See an example of a wordle below and click on it to visit the wordle site.
