As discussed in class you will be creating a word cloud in honor of your mother! Below are two links to websites that will bring you to applications where you can create and SAVE your word cloud so they can be printed.
 * Mother's Day Word Cloud Project**- May 4, 2011

[|Wordle]- if using this application PLEASE remember that you will need to take a screen shot of the completed Wordle, open it in Paint and then save it as a Jpeg. Remember due to conservation of ink you will need to choose a background that does not use color and if you want to connect words together (make a phrase) you need to use the ~ symbol!

[|ABCya]- if using this application you can also connect words using the ~ symbol, but you will be limited on the font and color options. You will only be able to use the last color option which has a white background. Saving the word cloud, however will be very easy- simply click on the "Save" button,making sure to change the generated name to your name before saving!

Click here to navigate to the Famous Americans Trading Card Page. Please read ALL of the directions BEFORE starting this project. If you need help please raise your hand so Miss Humphries or Mrs. Corrieri can assist you. Good Luck!
