Wordle!

Whilst reading José Picardo's excellent blog , Box of Tricks http://www.boxoftricks.net
I came across Wordle http://wordle.net
All you have to do to create a Wordle is copy in some text, click 'create Wordle' and hey presto! You can edit the Wordle using different fonts, colours and layouts and save it. Below is an example using a few pages from this blog.
For a more advanced language class you could put in the text of an article, short story or poem, and make a Wordle. As a preview exercise, ask learners what they think the article is going to be about, or get learners to make up their own story/poem before looking at the original.




double click on the Wordle to see the detail.
