pastic over them with the edges sealed with tape, plastic shoud go past any trim onto wall because air leaks often happen there also. I know it looks ugly but you asked effective, not pretty. you can buy "furring strips" at the lumber store to use in nailing over plastic on the outside of the house to keep the wind from tearing it off. like the others said. there is no sense trying to insulate inside the plastic, that will just cause water to condense there and rot things. the heavy plastic (6 mil for toughness, if you are carefull you can use it again next year, or for other stuff) that is sold in rolls as vapour barrier is your best bet, it comes with UV inhibitors to keep sunlight from destroying it too fast.

Plastic sheeting that they sell in Home Depot. You Ptu it up with a Stapler and little wooden strips and go over it with a hair dryer or heat gun to take the wrinkles out. cheap, and works great. Takes a little time though.

buy some plastic for indoor and outdoor and hang the indoor one on the inside and the outdoor one on the outside.
