Wordle of Top 25 Key Terms

Wordle Walkthrough

 The Wordle is a snapshot to your visitors how to research background information on your topic. These should be technical terms (medical, scientific, or informal terms), experts in the field of study, sponsoring organizations, etc.) When you finish your Wordle, create a mini works consulted page that will help the visitor find the information. There should be a proper works cited entry for each website. You should have at least four sites.
