  1. Great ideas!

    I have one more to add to the list (that I actually can't take credit for!) A teacher in one of my workshops suggested that you get elementary students to type in a sentence to get a visual that shows them when they've 'overused' a word (and, then, the, etc.) She said that Wordle makes this point so obvious to them, even though she's been pointing out their run-on sentences for weeks.

    Keep up the great work!
