This week I created a word map using the site Tagul. This site picks out the words in a piece of writing
that are used the most frequently. I
used the poem The Raven by Edgar
Allen Poe. The class that I am interning
in is doing a unit on Poe and I taught a lesson on one of his other poems Annabel Lee. I tried doing the map for Annabel Lee but I didn’t like the way it
looked as compared to The Raven. This is a tool I can see using in the
classroom. It can help identify themes
and can also make great posters.
