WORD CLOUDS
This activity was very useful and enjoyable for my students.In the first week ,I divided the students into groups.They worked together, brainstormed, and tried to write their ideas about the cause and the effect of the digital addiction, and meaning of it.Later we chose the group leader and that student wrote the information on padlet on twinspace.
My students also replied the survey which was prepared by our partners.
Before starting word cloud activity, I showed them how to create word clouds using word art. They did a lot of activities like group work, brainstorming. After brainstorming about digital addiction, my students created their own word clouds on our smart boards. They worked in groups of four or five to do this activity.Then I gave homework to do their own word art at home.
We also worked on "Mentimeter" .I created two menti surveys.One of them was about the cause and effects of the digital addiction, the other one was about the solutions to it.They wrote down their ideas on menti,so our menti cloud was created .
In the second week, we played games to analyse the theme better.We used Wayground(Quizizz) online test.I also share the link with the other partners to play it at home.We will gather the results later, when the deadline is over.
To learn the vocabulary better, I used Quizlet for the students.It was very enjoyable to learn the words via this tool.My students practised them at home, too.It helped them make good sentences.
Here are some pictures while we are working on them.
