This idea is a great way to study scripture with older children. Before reading the text use an on line word cloud generator to create a world cloud of the text to be studied. Here is John 14:1-12...
In a Think Pair Share situation or small groups
Ask before reading the text...
From looking at this word cloud what do you think the text is about?
What could be happening? Are there characters? Is there dialogue between characters? Is it a parable?
Make notes of the discussion, use a graphic organiser...then read the text and compare your thoughts...
