Today we are going to do a project for the HTS Gala using Tagxedo... which is very much like Wordle. Here is a sample of the Morell Family word cloud:
1.
The first step is to create a word document using the following instructions.
First, in your word document, your last name (family name) should be typed 5 times in order to make it the largest word in each piece, identifying the family.

2.
A few, key
words can be typed 2 times.
3.
All other words should be typed once. Focus on your family, not just you.
Ideas include: family member names, pets, interests, vacation spots, backgrounds, and activities, anything that relates to your particular family. Have at a minimum 20-25 words; the more words, the fuller your “square.” SPELL CHECK YOUR LIST BEFORE YOU PUT IT INTO TAGXEDO!
4. SAVE THIS DOCUMENT PLEASE!! THEN OPEN TAGXEDO.

Colors and font are completely up to
you. I do need you to choose the square shape for this project.
6. You will need to save this image as a 4MB JPG, and Email it to Mrs. Morell when you are finished.
