Today in your groups, or in groups of three and four, you will create your own Word Search on The Puritans.  You will use information from the documents: The Puritan Mind; and the Power Point/Lecture. You will create a Crossword Puzzle or Word Search using Puzzle Maker.  You will probably need to save it on a flash drive and make a screen shot since we are not connected to the Printer. Your crossword puzzle will need a target vocabulary word and a clue for each word.  All groups must have at least 20 words and clues.
