Please post something touching on the following points:
Which text(s) did you study with Voyant?
What things did Voyant show you that were unsurprising? Which things were interesting? Which were especially surprising or confusing about your text(s)?
What questions do you think you might want to answer using Voyant and your chosen text(s)? Share these questions here, and indicate which tools in Voyant you think might help you to answer them. (We’ll be talking more about kinds of questions one might ask, but take an initiative of curiosity for now, and try your hand at coming up with what you’re able.)
What about Voyant is unclear or confusing?
