I absolutely love these escape rooms! This one was incredibly engaging, and my students were so excited to work through it. It kept them motivated while reinforcing important point of view skills.

I love escape rooms because students don’t often get to work in groups. The escape room requires students to cooperate and not leave others out of the activity.

My students loved this!! I even had a couple students say they wish we’d do more of them like this! I will definitely be using these again!! The only thing I wish you could do was track their progress if they just used the link. I’ve had to have them show me manually that they had completed it. I will likely make sure they are given the Google Slides version next time! Thank you so much!

AEKR –
While I have used your other escape rooms in math, my students found this one particularly challenging. When they were working through it, several of the answers that were labeled as correct, I probably wouldn’t have chosen myself. They were able to find text evidence to support other answers and became frustrated with it marking it as incorrect. We eventually ended up abandoning it.
