Tool 3 Part 2 - Word Sift


I inserted the first part of the Declaration of Independence into the Word Sifter. The image generated showed the most frequent words in the text I selected. There is no way to save this image other than as a screen shot (that I found), so this would be a teaching tool. I would use it as an introduction to a topic of study where I would decide the content, or possibly as a review where the students develop it by suggesting vocabulary words to add. I especially like the other parts of the page, such as the visual thesaurus and images of the most frequent words. This would be great to help our ESL students!
