However, having said that, my 7th graders will be blogging for their next unit and so I am hoping that I'll have a better answer for you later. (Last year was the first time I had my MS-ers blog; it was a very interesting journey and I'll be building upon ideas this year.)

I just put all of <i>Animal Farm</i> in at once to see what it would look like - but I like your idea of chapter by chapter or act by act better. I'll go ahead and update the post with the Orwell tag-cloud just to share. Have you thought about how it could work with student blogging?

Have you thought about how it could work with student blogging?

Wish I had known about it when I was doing word traces with gr.10 in Macbeth. Would be cool to copy / paste all of Act 2 into this little tool, then ask: "What's really happening in this act?" I'm going to give it a shot with a few different texts. I like the idea of this more than the TweetCloud poetry only b/c this really focuses on a "complete" text. I am thinking of heaps of implications for teaching / learning. That and I'm relatively new to Twitter, so I didn't think my tweet cloud was an accurate representation (not enough fodder).
