Internet crossword 1

  1. In the past you have done crosswords created for you.  Now it is time to create your own crossword about the Internet, anything and everything about the Net.
  2. First decide on your clues and answers.  You need at least 10.  They must be clear, relevant to the Internet and make sense.  You can find useful definitions in your glossary or textbook.
  3. Find a crossword-making computer program.  Your crossword must be made to print on paper.  You may wish to search for software for creating crossword using Google http://www.google.com  You can create crossword (criss cross) puzzles online at http://puzzlemaker.school.discovery.com for printing.  You can use software from www.x-word.com (demo version found in the Resources folder on the disk).
  4. Create the crossword and hand in printed, one without the answers and one where it has been completed (in pen, pencil or printed).  It must work. 
  5. Onsite learners submit the work stapled together.
  6. Online learners fax the crosswords.  Phone two days after submitting the work to discuss the task - no phone call results in a disappointed teacher.
