Wordle
Wordle is a great resource for pointing out key ideas. For instance in the one I created, which you can view here, I used Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" and in it many adjectives are highlighted as being repeated, this would be excellent in advocating to students the importance of the elements of storytelling, emphasizing detail (mainly sensory details) and not plot. That it is tone/mood that evoke a story's ability to stay in your head. Wordle is so simple to use as well, in no time at all you've got a great catch piece that's readily available for discussion and input, plus you don't have to create an account to utilize the service which is awesome! Who wants to remember yet another username/password?
