Text Features: Mission in Space Escape Room for 4th & 5th Grade
⭐ This 4th and 5th grade text features reading escape room is a truly immersive experience. Students navigate their way through a mission in space by passing through the Kuiper Asteroid Belt, escaping a black hole, landing safely on Proxima B, and making a return to planet Earth. In this escape room, students complete four unique challenges. Each challenge requires students to use standards-based text feature skills. Students add their answers to the Secret Alien Decoder Tool to help them unlock the secret codes and complete each challenge. Students earn items used to navigate the mission and earn their official space exploration certificate.
⭐ This text features focused reading comprehension escape room that includes the following digital and printable formats.
- Webscape™ Format – This web-based format provides the most interactive and immersive experience possible. It is self directed, self correcting, and contains audio. You can check out my video overview here. You won’t believe how engaging this format is until you try it!
- Google Format – Students complete the exercises in Google Slides. The Magic Decoder is a Google Sheet that self-corrects and tells each student when they can continue to the next challenge.
- Printable Format – Students can use any device to scan QR codes to watch the videos. If no device is available, students can skip the videos and still enjoy the exercise. Students use a printable Magic Decoder and answer sheet to decipher the clues and track their answers.
⭐ Integrated videos, thematic items, and a space mission storyline come together to engage students while developing and enforcing text feature skills.
*Please note: The Google Slides format includes embedded videos that are hosted via YouTube. The printable version includes QR codes for these videos. If you plan on using the Google or printable formats, please ensure you and your students have access to YouTube. The Webscape version does not require YouTube.
