It would work really well digitally as well - it could even be used on etherpad or google docs. It's interesting - because they weren't editing each others' work but using parts of it there didn't seem to be a problem relinquishing their own work. That will help me think about collaborative writing digitally. Thanks for sharing it. What a great idea for collaborative writing.

What a great tie in to content area work! I never considered how what I did could connect-up that way as well. Thanks for sharing...new ideas brewing as a result.

I had small groups play around with the words, and it was interesting to see how each group came up with something different. The results were fascinating!
