West Virginia Wordle

http://www.wordle.net/show/wrdl/1557228/West_Virginia

Getting Situated

What we know about California!

I had preservice teachers in West Virginia text message to my poll in PollEverywhere two nouns and two adjectives that come to mind when they think of California. This is what they came up with. Fifth grade students in Oakland, California will be responding.




Here are the reactions to the California Wordle.

I thought this described lots of things that are true.

I think "busy" reminds me of New York, not California.

I reminds me of last summer.

I think they get their ideas from the movies.

"Sand" reminds me of the beach and I go to Alameda beach.

I think they watch a little too much TV because they only take things they see in the summer because that's a good time to go.

I don't know why they put "nose".

I think that they have seen the commercial about cows, we don't have cows in Oakland
I think they left out "cold".

I don't think there are a lot of parks in California -so I don't know why they put that
I thought they would have put "schools".

I think they didn't put violence - because they have never been here to see the violence.

I think they left out "rain".

This made me think that they don't know what they are talking about because they put "orange".

Do they think we grow oranges?

Maybe they are thinking of the golden gate bridge - that's in there? but it's not orange but maybe they think it is.

Why did they put "disney" that's not here.

this made me think they like to watch movies because they all put hollywood.

I wonder why they think it's dry here.

They forgot the Warriors and the Raiders.
