Item description

In this word search on steroids, students learn 50 of the most challenging vocabulary words (like “supposition,” “definitiveness,” and “audacity”) that they’ll encounter in Edgar A. Poe’s short story “The Tell-Tale Heart” as they read. This activity is a word find combined with elements of a crossword puzzle, resulting in a vocabulary-building exercise since students are only given a few of letters of the words they’ll be looking for and the number of letters contained in each word. See Preview.

This lesson is meant as a pre-reading activity, but it can be used at any point in your unit. This can be done solo, but it’s challenging and might best be done in teams (your call).

BONUS: This document contains SIX versions of the puzzle of various difficulty, based on how many letters for each term are revealed so that you can differentiate with your students as needed.

Example:

  • Version 1: ______________ – (12) steady persistence
  • Version 2: p______________ – (12) steady persistence
  • Version 3: pe_____________ – (12) steady persistence
  • Version 4: pe_____________e – (12) steady persistence
  • Version 5: per___ver___ce – (12) steady persistence
  • Version 6: perseverance – (12) steady persistence

This exercise comes as a PDF document and includes a complete key.
