This document provides instructions for an English class assignment where students will analyze quotes from a reading passage. Students are asked to:
1) Select at least three important quotes from a chapter, copy them down with page numbers, and type them into the Tagxedo website to create a "word cloud".
2) Answer questions about which words stand out in the quotes and their importance.
3) Find a partner who also completed their individual word cloud. Combine quotes to create a joint word cloud and answer questions about differences and how the combined quotes provide understanding.
4) The assignment will be graded based on the individual and joint word clouds and written responses.
