Instructional Ideas

• Use the puzzle as a review before a reading comprehension assessment
• Have groups assess the strengths and weaknesses of the puzzle and then create their own
  

Classroom Considerations

• The 24 clues focus on reading comprehension rather than the significance of events

Pros

• An answer key is included

Cons

• The awkward wording of the fill-in-the-blank clues makes it difficult to determine the correct response
