• Spend some time exploring the notes about the underlying data.  What kind of text data is this? 
  
  • Is the text clean? Indexed? Filtered? Anything else interesting you note about the data?
• Explore the functions of the tool.  Attempt to make claims about the intellectual content of the text based on the tool and its visualizations. (Feel free to reach a little; definitely refine and make the input better.)
  
  • How comprehensive are these terms?  Can you make them more comprehensive by making them case insensitive?  What happens to your results?
  • Can you restrict the case of some phrases and make others case insensitive? How?
  • Can you segment by language to indicate data from Great Britain as distinct from US English?  What does it mean to find these terms in Spanish?
  • Can you add related terms?  Do these terms show interesting trending, either coincident or inverse? 
  • Add the coalesced term "(male+(chauvinism+chauvinist))".  Note the way the frequency of this form obliterates the other waveforms.  What can you do to temper this action? 
  • What sorts of supplemental data would be helpful in making sense of these visualizations?  
• Consider the value of the tool critically.
  • What can you manage to do?  What is this tool good for?
  • What sorts of things did you want to do, but could not?
  • What can you infer from the interface about the text? What is still opaque?
