Wordle is a free online tool for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide by pasting text into the space provided or providing a URL for a website. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. Wordle has many classroom uses, such as providing a visual "summary" of a text, a journal or discussion starter, or as a pre-reading strategy to prompt students to make predictions about what they will read.
