I really like these! I had fun playing around with it. I created one from Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1933 Inagural address ("Nothing to Fear except Fear itself"), and Martin Luther King Jr's " I have a dream" speech. It was interesting to see what words were used the most. What I found myself doing was rereading the speech carefully, looking for these words. How powerful that would be if we could get kids to do the same thing!
This has great classroom uses. Any time an historical figure is studied, a Wordle could be created from their speeches. I think this would help students get to know and understand that figure better. Neat idea!
