Self-Assessment Writing ToolWhen pasting in an essay, it's easy to see which words are overused and to identify "dead words".Grades 3-12+
Customize the Wordle For Better Accuracy
• Right click to remove any word from the Wordle that you don't want included. (Example: if your essay is about "Education", you might want to remove: teacher, student, educator)
• Alphabetize the words to scan them easier• I have students print three different Wordles when writing
essayso Rough Draft o 2nd Drafto Final
• They use a highlighter and go through the Wordle to identify any overused or "dead words"
• For the final essay, the words should be about equal in size.

Photo Gifts• Student lists words that describe a parent, grandparent, etc.• Create the Wordle in Black and White, Screenshot, Save as
a JPEG, Print in 4x6• Take a Photo of student, Make Black and White, Print 4x6• Put in a clear frame or print both images on 8x10 cardstock
How to Save Wordle as an Image
1. Create the Wordle2. Do a screen shot (PC - Snip it or Print Scrn, Mac - Grab it
or Cmd+Shift+4)3. Paste the captured image into PowerPoint4. Crop the image to remove excess5. Save image as a JPEG (PC - right click and Save as a
Picture)
Caveat - If you want to print the Wordle at a professional photo lab, you'll have to spend some time getting the dimensions to fit within the 4x6 image. To prevent this, make sure you've created a Wordle layout with words fitted closely together and significant blank space around the edges
