Given images related to the Deep Ocean theme of the escape room, students will make and list 3 inferences, achieving three out of three correct inferences.
When working in a small group, students will collaborate and follow small group expectations requiring only two prompts or less to stay on task.
Begin by watching video #1 as a whole class. This will set the scene and give a sense of purpose to the escape room.
Set up groups and assign students to roles, or allow them to choose their role in their team.
In teams, students must access Google Classroom to find the slides assigned as "Step 1" or "Tutorial". The team should complete the tasks on slides 2-6, recording their inferences in their Quest Log.
Teams should watch video #2 and then continue working on slides 7-14.
The teacher will check students answers after completing slides 9, 11, and 13.
The teacher will provide a number code for each answer:
The secret code will be handed in an envelope labeled "Code 1" to keep the mystery.
When teams have completed the slides and obtained their 3-digit code, they should test their code by opening the next Google Slides titled "Are You Ready to Test Your Code?"
Finally, students should watch video #3 and prepare to move on to step 2.
