7th Grade On-Level Vocabulary Assignment – Tuck Everlasting



7th Grade On-Level Vocabulary Assignment – Tuck Everlasting

You will create a crossword puzzle on-line each week using definitions and quotes from the book. You will be ready on Friday to share your crossword puzzle with a friend. This assignment will count as two daily grades each week.







Remember: You must have a printed copy of the crossword puzzle you create for that week’s words. Be sure to mix up the definitions and quotes. We will not accept emailed or hand-written crossword puzzles. We will give you time in class during the week to work in the library, but the majority of work will be completed at home.
