Wordle


Some students are extremely visual.  A great way to differentiate instruction and really draw students in is to get their eyes engaged on something other than straight text or boring worksheets.  Making a really fun visual for them to synthesize information is a great tool.




Essentially, Wordle takes a bunch of words and groups them together in a visually appealing graphic that gives more attention to the most frequent words and less attention to less used words.  This could be a great tool if the students are doing a character description and they want to see the general profile of a story character that the students came up with on their own.
