Chicago History ABC Book Covers - Wordle

Today in class students began creating the final step of their Chicago History ABC book covers - making the actual Wordle.  Many students wanted to print their Wordle at home so that it was in color (not required!).  We will be doing final prints of the Wordles (printed in black and white) in class on Friday.  Listed below are the directions in case your child wants to do so:


Part 2 - Wordle

1.     Highlight over the entire list of words, and click Copy
2.     Go to http://www.wordle.net/
3.     Click Create (located on the top menu)
4.     In the text box, click Paste (this should paste your words in from Microsoft Word)
5.     Click Go
6.     Then you can customize your own Wordle by using the menu at the top (Edit, Language, Font, Layout, Color)
7.     When your Wordle is complete, click "File" in the left hand corner and then "Print" (don't click the Print button on the Wordle screen!)
8.      Don’t forget to put your name on it!
