designing the wordsearch - making the wordsearch

these are the words that we put into the wordsearch, these are the names of the websites that we use in class or have done. also it features sites that have had an impact on today.




here is a list of the definitions for the words. this is what is going to be next to the finished wordsearch, instead of just the words like a normal one.



on the website where you can create your own wordsearch, you need to follow a certain amount of steps before ending up with the finished article. step one is coming up with a name for the wordsearch. step 2 is selecting a subject that the wordsearch is intended for and for which age group. stage 3 is working out the size of the grid for the wordsearch and deciding how many words they're going to be.



stage 4 is deciding the words that will be included in the wordsearch. me and natalie had already done this so this wasn't a problem and didn't take long at all. stage 5 is deciding the difficulty of the random letters that fill the gaps. you also chose if there will be any words that go backwards or diagonal. we selected the wordsearch to be difficult. this decision was based on the age group its intended for. A2 students need a bit of a challenge.



stage 6 is the finished wordsearch, if your not happy with it you can go back and change some of the steps. me and ali were very happy with the wordsearch. we thought it looked great.
