PD 3 ENGLISH 10 HONORS
Above is a Wordle with your focus words from last week. A wordle is "a visual depiction of the words contained in a piece of text". The above wordle makes the words used most often larger. This means that more people in our classes selected those words as focus words. (note, I forgot to collect focus words in several classes, so this does not display every single word selected. Sorry!)
Using the above list, select one word that you think is the most important word to drive our class this year. In the comments section, please answer the below questions about your word.
Your response should be at least 5 thoughtful sentences.
