Differentiated Christmas crossword for ESL learners

Differentiated Christmas crossword for ESL learners

This progression lets learners work with Christmas words using different amounts of scaffolding. Page four is explicitly labelled with the completed responses, but none of those entries are reproduced in the authored copy.
