What are we going to read?
Hello! My congratulations on the first day of the second term!
Last term you enjoyed individual reading. This time, in addition to that, we will have home reading - the same book for all of you to read at home and discuss at class.
Here is a word cloud of the titles of the short stories we are going to read. Can you decipher any of them? Remember that Wordle omits common words like articles and conjunctions from the clouds.

My World Cloud
Finally I did it! I didn`t think that it would be so difficult… Vlad, thank you very much for the help!
To begin with, I`m agree with each adjective that describes my character except “calm”. I don`t know who wrote this adjective on my sheet of paper but I think this person doesn`t know me well. However it is not surprisingly as we have known each other only for a month.
I also added other adjectives which in my opinion describe me. One of them is “strong-willed”. As you can see, this word is almost the same size as my name. I really think that I have strong will-power.
So... here is my Cloud! How do you like it?
A hard-working man )
The most suitable adjectives are kind, sociable and talkative and, of course, ambitious. These are not the best ones a person can posses, but I enjoy this features of my character, I do. Naturally, as any other person on the Earth, I want to chage something about my character: add or remove (get rid of) some chrarcteristics. First of all, I want to become more down to the earth, because nowadays I am ambitious enough to spoil my own life.
I hope you liked my adj-cloud and I am desperately looking forward to seeing your ones.
From Vladislav with love

Create a "character word cloud"
Hello! Your new task is to create a "word cloud" from the list of character adjectives you have recieved. Here is an example of a word cloud, which I created:
You will create a word cloud about your own character as seen by your group mates.
- To do this, go to Wordle and print in the adjectives.
- Create your image, edit it as you like and make your Wordle larger on screen by clicking the"Open in Window" that appears at the bottom of the Wordle image.
- Take a screenshot of the window by holding Alt button and pressing Print Screen (Prt Scn) at the upper right of your keyboard.
- Start "Paint", paste your image and save it in an appropriate format, for example JPG.
- In case you need more detailed instructions on how to take a screenshot, go to http://take-a-screenshot.org/.Now you've got an image of your Wordle and you can publish it here on the blog!
- P.S. You can add some comments as to the choice of adjectives your group mates have made. Do you agree with everything? Did some of the chosen words surprise you?
