Then they could put that into Wordle, take a screenshot (I never save mine on the site), and write a further reflection (or a poem like mine!!) based on what they find there. Either or both pieces would give you some great information about your students! (Hey! Good idea!! I might do that, too!!)Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-64392821744524915822012-06-29T13:51:12.164-04:002012-06-29T13:51:12.164-04:00Vulcan mind-meld!!
