Create a Character Word Cloud

Creating Character Word Clouds is an easy way to integrate digital technology with your character trait studies. Word clouds, sometimes called Wordles, are artistic arrangements of words in which the size of each word is
related to the number of times it appears in the text. See example on the right. 

In this activity, students will analyze a
character’s traits and will create a digital word cloud based on those
traits. The Character Word Cloud  activity
includes teacher directions, student directions and a printable. I also created the video tutorial below to explain the directions in a step-by-step manner.  

I hope you and your students enjoy this activity! You can find more literacy activities in the Literacy Strategies section of my Teaching Resources site.
