A Tagxedo turns word-- famous speeches, news articles, slogans and themes, even your love letters -- into a visually stunning word cloud. Tagxedo allow the words to hug and create picture.Some words may appear larger than others.The students created tagxedo describing natural disasters. The purpose of this project was to learn what what natural disasters were,what to do when one occurs and how to inform others.

There are many things that could be classified as natural disasters. A few disasters are volcanos, floods, earthquakes, heat waves, wild fires, tsunamis, lighting, and cyclones. All of these disasters happen natural without any human control. Some of these disasters can be more deadly than others. It is important that these children in this class as well as other become informed about the different types and what to do when one occur.
