wordle.
Basically, wordle is a website that allows you to input text into a box, and produce an image. The image features commonly used words in the passage--the bigger the word, the more frequently it is used. This allows students to directly see which words are used the most, and based on these words, students can determine what the author's tone or theme is.
Let's try it out!
- Go to wordle and click on "create"
- In a separate tab, open Robert Frost's poem "The Flood"
- Copy the poem's text and paste it into the large box on the "create" page of wordle
- Hit "go"
- Determine Frost's tone based on the words most frequently used
