The best thing about being on a listserv is that when you share, it gets returned to you in unexpected ways. Nancy Steen, a New Hampshire teacher and longtime listfriend, took the idea and added a terrific new twist to it. After having her students write their 15-sentence self portraits, she had them take them to wordle and turn them into artwork.
And that inspired me to dust off one of my 15-sentence portraits (not of myself alone, but a memory of my father) and try the same thing. You can see my results below.
If you are not part of an ongoing professional community, like a listserv or a writing project, I highly recommend finding one and joining. Doing so yeilds terrific results.

This is interesting, and I had forgotten about it on the listserv. Thanks for the reminder!
Thanks for the tips!
Recently, I joined two Nings (lighthouseliteracy.ning.com and teachap.ning.com)...but the traffic has slowed (imagine teachers being busy!). I am going to check our your recommendations.
