Project # 3

For this project we utilized the puzzlemaker tool at http://www.DiscoverySchool.com to create our own puzzle. The purpose of this project was not only to learn how to make a puzzle for students, but to understand that puzzles are a motivating and entertaining way to promote learning. First, we chose a vocabulary list from the DiscoverySchool website. I decided to design a puzzle with Valentine's Day vocabulary. Next, I filled out the option tabs with the puzzlemaker to finalize my word search. Then, I copy and pasted my puzzle into Microsoft Word. I added a border, centered my words and put them into columns to organize the words. I used Print Screen to catch an image of the file, cropped it using MS Paint and saved it as a .jpeg. Finally, I inserted the image of my puzzle onto my page, and linked it to the Microsoft Word document of my puzzle.
