Editing the Letter Cloud
The Letter Cloud Item has an exercise generator that will place the letters or word chunks of your input text automatically. In the Property Editor you can set up the item. You can set your input text there and decide how it will be fragmented:
If your input does not contain separators it will be separated into every single letter. For different separation behaviour use separator characters in your input. Worksheet Crafter accepts several kinds of separators like spaces, commas or semicolons. Your letter cloud will be updated while typing so you can see the result immediately.
Letter Cloud Properties
The exercise generator provides the following settings in the Property Editor:
Shape: |
Decide how the letter cloud looks: Cloud, Sunflower, Blowfish, Box or Simple list |
Draw frame: |
For Box and Simple list you can decide wether to draw a border or not. |
Color variant: |
For the background images (se "Shape") the color variants colored, black-white or outline may be chosen. |
Highlight first letter |
If enabled, then the first letter chunk of your input text is highlighted. In case of the simple list, this chunk then shows up as first one. For all other shapes the chunk is rendered in bold letters instead. |
Text: |
This is the input word or sentence that is the basis for (and solution to) your letter cloud puzzle. Use separators (e.g. spaces) to manually decide how the input will be split. |
