Try your hand at creating a word collage using Wordle @
www.wordle.net. Watch out, it's addictive! You provide the text and wordle will create the cloud.
Show what is important to you. Either paste in text on a topic that interests you or provide a URL to a Web site you like. Press "Go" and presto, you have created a word cloud. Tailor your cloud to your own tastes by changing the layout, color and font. Words that are used more frequently are more prominent in the cloud.
What a great site to use for an end of year project! Imagine creating a word cloud that represents what is important to a character you have read about or studied. Word clouds could represent a biome you may be studying in science. Think of how you could use this in your own life to express your individuality. Create collages for a bulletin board in your room. The uses are endless.
