My article, Crossword Puzzle Club

The article for Mr. Shelor's class is the Crossword Club at Kealakehe High school.

The Crossword Puzzle club is a club that is run by Mr. Lowery of class D-201.

The Crossword Puzzle club is a club that consists of doing crosswords during the activity period. The crosswords done are of the New York Times newspaper. It may seem to be but only a simple club meant only to pass time, but the Crossword Puzzle club will indeed prove to be quite a difficult club indeed, persisting that you use all the knowledge at hand, plus more further still. If you know not of current, past, or even future events, you may not get even that far in but a single crossword.

But for that reason is why Mr. Lowery is the one to lead such a club that requires so much knowledge to be know. In any and every new york times crossword done, it seems that Mr. Lowery knows the answer to all, dispite it being a current crossword or not. Even though he knows what any of the questions are, Mr. Lowery is not a person to hand out answers, but he will if you are truly stuck on any one problem.

Instead of handing out answers, Mr. Lowery will help guide you through the challenge of the crosswords. He will ask questions, give hints, and even will teach you with something new when you finally learn what the answer to the question is. And answering a question that left the rest of the club stumped, will leave nothing but a feeling of great pride that you have answered something others couldn't.

The crossword puzzle club is a club of teaching and learning. You will learn facts about vocabulary, sports, current events, and history. You will also be learn a skill, by the words of Mr. Lowery,that you will be using for the rest of your life. You'll never be left bored, if it's waiting for a plane, or if you just have nothing to do, you could always pull out your trusty crossword puzzle, and never have the excuse to be bored waiting for something again.
