DIRECTIONS: One square at a time, out loud. Copy what you can see, not what you know is there.

— into here, one square at a time.

The wall first, then the towers, then the crenellations along the top — up, across, down, across.

  1. Find two places in the castle where a line stops because something is in front of it.
