<p>UPDATE &#8211; Julie from the <a href="http://barat-tps.org/" target="_blank">Barat / Teaching With Primary Sources</a> group <a href="http://www.npr.org/2011/01/26/133211131/the-state-of-the-union-in-your-words" target="_blank">posted a link </a>to a very cool NPR article. NPR asked listeners of the State of the Union to list three words describing the speech. They created <a href="http://www.npr.org/2011/01/26/133211131/the-state-of-the-union-in-your-words" target="_blank">their own Wordle</a> with separate versions broken out by political affiliation.</p>
<p>A great way to use Wordle to engage kids in conversation. (Though you may need to white out at least one word on both the Republican and Independent versions.)</p>
<p>Thanks, Julie!</p>
