⭐ This 6th-8th grade text structure escape room is a truly immersive experience. Students read passages and complete text structure skill focused questions to work their way through a series of high-stakes games in order to collect various medals until they achieve certified gold. In this escape room, students complete four unique challenges. Each challenge requires students to use standards-based text structure skills. Students will work on analyzing the structure an author uses to organize a text, including how the major sections contribute to the whole and to the development of the ideas. Analyze in detail the structure of a specific paragraph in a text, including the role of particular sentences in developing and refining a key concept. Students collect various medals of achievement to ultimately earn the coveted gold medal.
