Crossword+Creation

You are going to make your own crossword puzzle using terms that we discussed in class.


 * Step 1.** Is to write down all your clues (and the answer) on a blank piece of paper or on your netbooks. You need to use at least the following words:

Nutrition Nutrient Calorie Metabolism Macronutrient Micronutrient Carbohydrate Simple Complex Starch Sugar Fiber Fat Protein Vitamin Mineral Water

I want you to have at least 20 clues. There are not 20 words in the list above so you will have to be creative. One suggestion would be to include examples of the nutrients but what you include beyond the 15 terms above is up to you. Please do not copy definitions down word for word for your clues. I want you to phrase each clue in your own words. You can only use each word once in the crossword. Doing extra clues beyond 20 ( at least 5) will earn you a check plus plus for the assignment.

 * Step 2.** Go to the following website:

Follow the directions to enter your clues and your answers into the boxes. You can change the font but do not change the original settings for the choices below the fonts. Once you're done, hit the "Make Crossword Puzzle" button. You will now be able to print your crossword and the key.

If two people finish, they may share crossword puzzles and complete each others. If you finish before the end of the class, turn in both the crossword and the key in to Ms. Lamblin. Don't forget a name!
