In a column, list 20 words that you feel are the top characteristics or dispositions needed by a teacher to be effective. Note: Avoid vague or overused general terms such as nice, happy, cool, fun, awesome, and others that are slang terms.
Next, select 5 of the words and give an example of how this would look or sound in an effective teacher.Example:
Joy: The joyful teacher helped her students feel great pleasure and happiness when they mastered the task of learning to divide with two-digit divisors!
- Which characteristic do you feel is the most important for a teacher to display in the classroom? Why?
- Identify a characteristic which is not one of your stronger traits. What will this mean for the way you operate in the classroom?
Using the 20 words you defined, create a word cloud using Word It Out. Helpful hints: Copy the list of 20 words you made above and paste in the word cloud generator.
Be sure that you include your first and last name at the top of the list. First~Last
Words that stick together such as your name need to have a "~" inserted between them.
You may pick a font, colors, and more, but be sure that your cloud is readable
Embed your word cloud in your blog. Hint: Command Shift 4, then drag from desktop to your blog.
