After looking at the children’s mind maps again, we typed in their key words about what skills a great working group has. This mind map shows all the fantastic ideas that a group of Year 1’s came up with.

Together we made a wordle. A wordle is a word cloud where the most commonly used words appear larger than the others. The children read their key words and these were typed onto the wordle. In the following photos you can see us looking at the developing wordle on the whiteboard.

We looked at many presentation types for our wordle and this is one that we chose. When you look at it remember the larger words are what we think are important skills to have when working in a group.

What do you think are skills you need to have when you work in a group? Do you agree with the words we came up with? Have you ever made a wordle? Please tell us what you think of our wordle.
