Your Assignment Create a “Word Cloud” with words from the Graduation Transition Plan. Total marks available are 30! Your Word Cloud must contain the words Graduation Transition Plan in large text or 3 marks will be deducted. This will serve as your title! I have provided a sample for you on a subsequent slide. If you include a minimum of 30 words that describe what you have learned about the Graduation Transition Plan you will qualify for 20 marks out of the total 25 available for the word list. If you want to maximize your mark, provide an additional 10 words for a total of 40 which qualifies you for the full 25 word list marks. In addition, there are 5 marks available for adding colour to this assignment. No colour=zero out of 5 for this portion. You must provide a numbered list of the words you use on the back of the paper I will provide for this assignment! No list = no mark! Page 16
