Wordle? What’s a Wordle?

Wordle is a program that gives a visual presentation of a text giving importance to the words used most often in the text. Below is an example of a wordle we did today for the beginning of parshat Va’ereh.








Based on this wordle the students were asked the following two questions:
1. What do you think the key words are?
2. What do you think is the main idea of these pesukim?

The main goal of this assignment was to have the students think and come up with their own answers. Before vacation I attended a webinar given by Chris Lehman a Principal of a very progressive school in New England,said that one of the most important questions we need to be asking our students today is, “what do you think?”

I hope you all had an enjoyable break and now we are all ready to learn.
