Woohoo Wordle!
Well, I must say I just love Wordle. It's fun. This week I was teaching editorial writing! We used wordle to look at a pro and con editorial on school uniforms. Students were able to see quickly how word choice evokes emotion in the reader. Next, we will be using wordle to look at their writing as they work to complete an editorial on an issue of their choice. We're having fun now!

I really love wordle too! I thought it would be a cool tool to use in my English 101 courses to help students see if they were overusing certain words but also to help them discover if their essays were on topic and focused. I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to incorporate it yet, but I know that my kids will likely become as addicted to it as I am.
