This lesson includes:

2. 7 Escape Room Tasks
3. 8 Primary sources and 1 secondary source (images)
4. Teacher Notes for quick implementation and easy instruction

2. Flipped Classroom - assign article as homework
3. Individual Escape Room - Print a class set of Escape Room Tasks (slides 7-13) and a few copies of the images to disperse throughout the room. Each student reads the article and completes the escape room individually, check in frequently to earn keys. As students finish, you may wish to have them solve the final riddle by writing a paragraph explaining their answers, serving as a formative assessment.

I love escape rooms and everything from this teacher is great, and I love that Amped Up Learning gives you rewards that the other guys don't.
