Word+Clouds

==Wordle is a fun site for creating posters using a set of words--maybe from a poem, or as a review assignment, or a descriptive assignment. The words are transformed into an interesting pattern or "word cloud." Kids can create their own mini-posters with words for vocabulary or on a specific theme.==
