Here's a great website to copy and paste text into to create a graphic representation of ones writing!
www.wordle.net
Words that are used most frequently will appear the largest in the design and will visually show students when they are overusing a word. This visual representation will also let students "see" words they have used in an isolated way in order to help writers edit and revise. I like to have my students create a wordle of their first draft when writing and then use the wordle for visual feedback as they revise and edit. Then, they create a new wordle with which to compare their first and final drafts.
