Storybird also allows pairs of users to collaborate. Students will receive their usernames and temporary passwords soon, but if you're feeling creative right, now click here to get started on your own.

A Descriptive Bunch

Classmates consider adjectives to describe each other, then go online to hunt for synonyms. Next, they rotate around the room and write the most accurate adjective for each of their friends on (nondigital) word clouds. Each adjective may be used only once, so the challenge is to find synonyms others haven't used yet.

Lastly, each student chooses their favorite adjective, then explains why it's the perfect descriptor on their word cloud. Lincoln is amazing.

Sa'riyah is kind.

Carl is intelligent.

Ben is stunning.

Maya is thoughtful.

Niko is athletic.

Trinity is sweet.

Batiste is calm.

Lillian is quick.

Abigail is native.
