Starter/ Plenary - The Completed Crossword

Here is an activity that my students are buzzing about.

So, so simple but so, so effective.

Rather than giving a crossword out of key terms at the start of the lesson, how about giving them a completed crossword and asking them to write in the clues?

I tried this yesterday and the results were amazing. You could really see the students thinking and the level of differentiation was incredible. There are lots of crossword creators on-line, and the cool thing about this is, you don’t need to come up with the clues. Let the students do the work (I’m sure that is what teaching is supposed to be about!)

Enjoy…...
