A word cloud, or also known as a tag cloud, is a visualization of text data. Word clouds show keywords or tags on websites and provide a larger view of the most important words in a piece of text. Using word clouds helps identify the main ideas of your writing.
Assignment:
For this assignment you will create a word cloud. This is a prewriting activity that will help you generate ideas, brainstorm, and start the creative process. If you have topic, then use your word cloud to generate ideas related to your topic. Try to generate about 30 terms then put them in your word cloud. Be creative here. The terms you generate could become subtopics or posting ideas (for a blog, perhaps] when you start to add content to your project.
To help you get started, think about your ideas for this project, subtopics, hobbies, favorite things, places you like to visit or want to visit, your beliefs, and what you care about.
Below are a list of word cloud sites. Review some of the sites, pick one, and get started.
**When your cloud is complete, follow your instructor's directions for submission and peer review.
