The words they use to speak and write are really important to bring out their ideas. Teachers should attempt to use word generators in the classroom to teach more new words.

The book is written by Margaret Adams (who is also a prolific and very good contributor to skillsworkshop.org) and is the second title in her wonderful "Supermarket Stories" series.<br /><br />As I was lucky enough to have a pre-release PDF version of the book I copied all the words from Chapter 1 into Wordle and displayed the resulting cloud to the group before we started reading. <br /><br />I then asked them to predict what the story was about - and they came up with some great suggestions, mostly involving cheese, milk and animals! (Bob in fact works in the dairy department of the supermarket). <br /><br />I will put the word cloud and some more details in a separate blog post later this month.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13946096894888521811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544753163957519344.post-13357230385000886282009-05-29T19:02:27.711+01:002009-05-29T19:02:27.711+01:00USE FOR A WORD SPLASHprereading/prelearnign activi...<B>USE FOR A WORD SPLASH</B>prereading/prelearnign activity. You can type in the words from a unit you are about the teach or a story/book you/they are going to read and have students look at the words and brainstorm what they think the unit/story/book is about. They define any of the words they do not know and then talk about the unit/story/book and why each word is important to the topic.

I teach learners of English but I'm sure this would be useful for vocabulary enrichment with other learners too. I put the text of examples of a word in use from a CD ROM dictionary eg. the one for 'guilty' from Longman Exams Dictionary. This turns into a good resource for creating new sentences using that word as all the surrounding text is contextually relevant (crime, accused, ashamed, conscience etc) and also a good way of learning the commonest collocations in English. See http://wordle.net/gallery/wrdl/194614/guilty_of where I kept the common words but excluded 'the' (thanks Maggie for the tip that this was possible - I discovered that right clicking did the trick) and http://wordle.net/gallery/wrdl/194613/Guilty where I excluded the common words (that is the default). I'm hoping my students will cotton on to this and post their newly learned vocabulary + dictionary definitions into wordle and make little posters they can put up in their rooms....I think it will really help in memorising the necessary prepositions etc (guilty OF a crime)...Tillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13040230426175122626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544753163957519344.post-25133561548383133542008-09-17T22:34:00.000+01:002008-09-17T22:34:00.000+01:00Deb,Many thanks!

It also helps the children who are younger to realise the more important words in a topic ( I wordle the topic words from the QCA, use that as a cover for their work and keep referring to the texts as we go on. I really like using wordle too!Deb Loasbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17130783110538321649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544753163957519344.post-16053465339563942432008-09-04T12:52:00.000+01:002008-09-04T12:52:00.000+01:00Sorry - realised that links would have been useful...Sorry - realised that links would have been useful in the comment above - the discussion list with my classroom idea is here: http://groups.google.com/group/wordle-users/browse_thread/thread/1f0dbeca3832bf0c/14ce0d2156710c96?hl=en#14ce0d2156710c96<BR/> and the wordle itself is here:<BR/>http://wordle.net/gallery/wrdl/158996/Good_Essay_Writing<BR/>TillyTillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13040230426175122626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544753163957519344.post-84578944212340179352008-09-04T12:39:00.000+01:002008-09-04T12:39:00.000+01:00Hi Maggie,I've just fallen in love with Wordle too...Hi Maggie,<BR/>I've just fallen in love with Wordle too!
