Internet+Tools



A unit that we study in the first grade is Plants. I made my lesson enrichment activities to help the students practice what we had been learning about plants.

I chose word search at http://puzzlemaker.discoveryeducation.com/code/BuildWordSearch.asp to create a plant word search puzzle. It was very easy to choose my own words, how big I wanted it, and click to have it instantly created for me to see. If I didn't like it, I could make changes.

Making a crossword puzzle about plants was really easy here because EdHelper at http://www.edhelper.com/ already had it created for me. I just chose my subject, area of study, grade level, and size of puzzle. I doesn't get much easier than that. This is a subscription site, however. I joined EdHelper this year, but hadn't yet discovered all the neat parts to it.

I really liked using this quiz maker at http://www.2learn.ca/mapset/mapset.asp. You can create your own ten- question quiz. It can be multiple choice, true/false, short answer, or fill in the blank. You can even give each question a point value.
