Name the States: Cryptic Codes

April 2010: Hey kids, use the following website to have some fun with words and phrases!
http://www.richkni.co.uk/php/crypta/freq.php

Once at the website, notice the information about letters and their frequencies of appearing in daily language. Play with some words and phrases such as your name, a favorite of yours, a "secret" phrase, etc by placing them in the "ciphertext" box at the bottom of the webpage. Blog about your observations and post at least one challenge to your classmates. For instance, you might ask what letter occurs most frequent in the Gettysburg Address - be creative!

DUE: May 3

Be cool,
Mr. P
