I heard about Wordle a while ago and tried it out and thought it was pretty cool. I passed it on to our writing resource teacher who also thought it had great possibilities for use in writing lessons. So, I have been waiting to find the right time and the right way to introduce Wordle to some of our teachers. Today, while searching for Martin Luther King resources, it came to me. Create a Wordle out of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech and see what it looks like. Although I have heard excerpts of the speech for the past few years, I have not listened to nor read the entire speech. So, here it is… no surprise to me at which words are the largest. I think I found a great resource for teaching about Martin Luther King and what he was all about. I think he would have been proud of his Wordle.

That is such a cool idea! I loved how large freedom ended up being!
What fun! There is a scene in The Bourgeois Gentleman by Moliere where Monsieur Jourdain asks his highly paid tutor to help him reword a love note to the marquesa he was trying to attract. The tutor simple reordered all the words again and again creating one nonsensical sentence after another, finally telling M. Jourdain that his original order was the best. He then took his money and left until the next lesson! It would be fun to make an entire set of posters that reorder those words and post them in the room as students read the scene.
