Wordle Review

Wordle generates 'word clouds' from text that the user provides. The clouds are give greater prominence to words which appear more frequently and can be used as a visual representation of the key themes or phrases of the text.

The clouds are visually attractive and interesting, and could be used in the classroom as a frontloading activity for presenting a written text. For example, students could be given a word cloud to predict the themes and message of a text before seeing the text itself.
