- Use the two dictionaries provided at your station and the display board example to complete as many of the self-checking cards as you need for practice. When you and your partner think that you understand how to use the Dictionary Code, you can move on to the next step. You and your partner can work together to solve the riddles on the front of the cards and then check your solution with the correct answer located on the back of the card. If you do not get the right answer, see if you can figure out your mistake. If you need to, ask for help! Mrs. Heiniger is nearby to help!
- Use the dictionaries to complete the Dictionary Code Sheet in the station. The Dictionary Code sheet will offer you a clue to the identity of an object hidden in the room. Once you have decoded the clue, write the plaintext for your guess about where the object is hidden. Then you will use dictionaries to encode your guess.
- With your partner, complete the Frayer Method vocabulary sheet to explain your vocabulary word for this station.
- In your crypto-journal, write at least 2 positive aspects of the dictionary code and at least 2 negative aspects of the dictionary code.
- Put your Dictionary Code form and Frayer Method vocabulary sheet in the completed papers folder and move to the next station on your station card.
