<strong>General</strong> <strong>Knowledge</strong> <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Crosswords</strong><strong>Teacher</strong>s NotesOur belief and philosophy at Intelligent Australia has always been thatKNOWLEDGE leads to UNDERSTANDING which leads to WISDOMAnd what better way to bring knowledge to young learners than through the fun ofsolving crosswords puzzles.The puzzles in this book have been especially created to broaden students’ generalknowledge by undertaking research.Not all questions will call on the student’s investigative techniques but a healthypercentage of them will.The following sources will prove very helpful in solving the cluesINTERNET, REFERENCE BOOKS, ATLAS, DICTIONARY, THESAURUSEach puzzle ...• is a 100% educational activity • provides an educational challenge • demands correct spelling • helps build vocabulary • enriches general knowledge • gives satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment when solved • offers an opportunity for family members to work together <strong>Teacher</strong>s may be assured that the puzzles here are appropriate for use by mainstreamstudents. While challenging even the most capable pupils they are suitable too for thosewho may require a degree of assistance from a teacher (school) or parent (home).There is no one correct way to make use of this book.Some teachers may choose to spread the 20 puzzles over a year, allowing two weeks forcompletion of each. Others may condense them into a semester (one per week).<strong>Crosswords</strong> may be presented either as school-based or home-based tasks, or perhapsthey could be begun in class and completed at home.It is suggested that each of the two-page puzzles be kept together in one place...perhaps pasted in an activity or homework book.Children love incentives. Consider having a class <strong>General</strong> <strong>Knowledge</strong> Champion, beingthe student whose puzzle is the neatest and best each week.In searching for solutions, students will usually find more information than they actuallyrequire. There is space underneath each crossword for them to write about somethinginteresting they learnt (being something other than a clue’s solution) and this could beshared with the rest of the class.Over 1 000 Gems of <strong>General</strong> <strong>Knowledge</strong>!How many do you know? <strong>General</strong> <strong>Knowledge</strong> <strong>Research</strong>© Intelligent Australia Productions3
