HOW IT RUNS
- Rooms: about 15 minutes of prep for Room A, about 20 for Room B and about 40 for Room C. Review games: about 10 minutes of prep, once, for all four (print the code page and class kit).
- Assessments and the pacing calendar are print and go.
- Every student needs their own copy of the novel. Page numbers differ between editions, so students cite their own copy's pages.
PRINT AND DIGITAL
The escape rooms come as a Digital Room and a Paper room; the Paper room needs no device. The Digital Rooms, game host screens, team answer pads and the Unit Planner are web files that open offline in Chrome or Edge on Windows. The Digital Rooms, game host screens and team answer pads also work in Chrome on Chromebooks. Slide files (.pptx) and PDFs are included for the decks, bell ringers and Character X-Ray.
