WORDLES

So, I met some really great people in St. Louis over the past two days.  I mentioned using a "Wordle" and one of the ladies spoke up and said that she used them in her advanced literature classes.  I thought she had the coolest idea, so I am sharing. 
She said she takes passages from famous speeches and creates 2 word clouds "Wordles", and gives them to the students to see if they can recognize the speeches, and then to compare the word clouds! 
Well, here are my Famous Speech Wordles...
1. See if you can identify them!
2. Discuss how you can use WORDLES with your schools, teachers, or students!
