This is the link to my school web page. Click on the HANDOUTS link to view the crossword puzzle.

I couldn't figure out how to put the puzzle on this blog so this is plan B.

I use crossword puzzles with my students for vocabulary words for each unit that we cover. The students enjoy doing them and it does help the learning process. Plus it is fun to do. I have the good fortune of have a puzzle maker program that was provided by our textbook publisher that creates puzzles for each unit with preset vocabulary words as well as the option to add/delete additional words. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes for each puzzle and creates an answer key. This process, using the excel program took me 4 hours. Would I ever use excel to create puzzles? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!
