The image above is a Wordle (from wordle.net), a text cloud. Wordle helps make visual the number of occurrences of words. I copied part of Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities, specifically Book the Third chapter 2 "The Grindstone" into the Wordle program. I edited the basic text and colors of my Wordle to hopefully reflect through design a close imitation of Dickens's impression. In my classroom, using Wordle to visualize passages could help students better understand an author's mood or imagery.

Nice job. I like the color coding. In a class with two bloggers is a bit intimidating. It took me 15 minutes to figure out how to sign in so I could post under my name. Still not sure if I did it correctly!
