Translate this!

Students can surf to books.google.com, find a text they like, and pore through it for a quote they enjoy or find interesting. Once they do this, they can copy/paste the quote into translate.google.com, running it through several different language to language conversions. From this, they can then translate that back into English. Whatever the results may be, and often different from the original quote they are, a student can wrote a poem or short story focused on the remaining translated quote. Or even write a story on how they think the quote went from its original meaning to the new one!
