Art of the Americas Contextualization ESCAPE ROOM - Student Notes - Teacher Lesson Plan - AP Art History - APAH - Self Checking - Self Grading - Positive Reinforcement - Google Drive

I like to provide proper contextualization before we start learning about art from a specific culture. That is why I designed this fun escape room to teach students key concepts before we dive into these topics more in-depth. This escape covers art of the Americas, including indigenous Americas and Colonial Americas.

In this escape room, students will time travel to the past and get trapped there. In order to return to the future, they must complete a series of tasks. This escape room comes with a variety of activities, including videos, crossword puzzles, multiple-choice questions, and pig-pen codes to crack. What's more, there are positive reinforcement messages throughout! When a student gets a question right, a summary recap of the correct answers is provided to reinforce student learning.

Have you ever attempted to teach an escape room, but the directions were confusing? Maybe you didn't realize how many different stations you had to print and ultimately forgot to print a crucial piece of the puzzle students needed to complete the escape room. I know my teacher friends and I have at one point or another. Let's stop that cycle of confusion with a self-grading Google Form. Students cannot go to the next station without getting the correct answer first and inputting into the Google form. This means no station printing for you! (All you need to print are the student notes for students to write on as they complete the escape room).

The information in this escape room relates to the content material in the AP Art History Course and Exam Description, meaning that these stations are not just for "fun" but correlate to learning within the course. It is recommended that students complete this escape room BEFORE learning about art of the Americas.

This resource comes as a Google Drive resource. When you download this resource, you will see the terms of use and printing notes. On the printing notes page, you will have a link to the Google Drive folder. You will need to make a copy of the material if you would like to edit it.
