There are lots of templates and tools to help you do this, but a couple years ago I tried this out by creating what I called a "Photo Word" in Google Slides. This is basically a clever way to make it look like you have a picture inside of a word.
If you want to learn all the gory details about that you can check out my earlier blog post as well as my short intro video and my very long deep dive video all about creating Photo Words.
However, to make things super simple I have a Google Slides template that you can copy and edit to make your own "One Word" for the year.

Watch the short video below for directions on using the template to make your own "One Word of the Year".

I love it. We are doing a country project and this will be one of the slides. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I am going to use it with my 7th and 8th graders. I am also going to include an extra slide for them to write an essay when they are done about why they chose their word and how they think it will help them this year.
ReplyDeleteThank you again for this great idea!
