Call To Action!

  1. Provide students with:
    1. A list of classmate names
    2. A list of positive character traits
  2. Ask students to write traits by classmate names.
  3. Students use iPad App “Word Cloud by ABCa.com” to create Word Clouds (hint: Add student name 5 times)
  4. Students add their Word Cloud as an image into Seesaw & record themselves reading their character traits
