I'm gonna steal one of John Gabriele's ideas to show everyone

[Barry R. Hill]

John sent me a link to a few Wordle exercises his students did awhile back - and they're too good to pass up. Here's the link to one of them. The idea is that each student provides a word that describes a subject, but the key is that it's from their perspective, not something memorized from a textbook. This reveals very interesting opinions and thoughts from their side, which is crucial to knowing where they stand.
