I like blue, but I like these links more:

[|www.wordle.net] A useful tool to help identify themes, visually represent themes, and to add an unusual graphic for writing assignments. Simply copy and paste a work of text into the text box and click to have the application create a word cloud. If you want a different look click on "randomize" button to change appearance of the word cloud

[|www.geography.com] An outstanding website managed by ESRI, the world's premier geographic information system software and applications company. Resources for students, parents, educators, and GIS professionals. Users can view and create maps, visit websites produced by National Geographic and the CIA (among others), and others to include the U.S. Census Bureau.

[|www.house.gov/capuano/students/] An outstanding website with links to topics such as environment, government, health & safety, science, geography, and many others.

This site can be used throughout the year for most of the writing assignments.
