The Completed Crossword

This is an excellent activity that is ideal for Geography that is so, so simple but so, so effective.Rather than giving students a crossword of Geography key terms at the start of the lesson, how about giving them a completed crossword and asking them to write in the clues?This is a much more powerful activity as it is a much more open ended strategy. You can really see the students thinking and you get a high level of differentiation.There are lots of crossword creators on-line, for example, puzzlemaker which can be found here , and the great thing about this is, you don’t need to come up with the clues. Let the students do the work (which is what teaching is supposed to be about!)Enjoy
