Wordle: Application in the Classroom?

I decided to try a suggestion mentioned in a post by Joyce Valenza, web 2.0 librarian extraordinaire, to create a library sign from the Dewey Decimal library classification system. School Library Journal post Oct. 2, 2008

This example is for the 800s section of the library.

Can you think of other applications for Wordle?

A song? A famous speech? A poem or a poets’ favorite images, or metaphors? An essay? A quote from a Washington monument? Notes taken by students on a field trip to a museum? … or before going to the museum? Key vocabulary in a subject? This month’s spelling words?

Leave your thoughts and Wordle examples as a comment for others to enjoy and use.
