IMPORTANT NOTE:

To be clear, you're not purchasing the Escape Room, you're purchasing the materials for the Escape Room. The Escape Room can be accessed through the link you can find above; however, you can only progress through the escape room after a certain point using the worksheets provided in this product.

-----------------------------------------

IN THIS PRODUCT:

This Escape Room covers the following concepts/skills:

  • Topic
  • Main Idea
  • Supporting Details

This Freebie Includes:

  • Access to the entire Escape Room Plot
  • Teacher Walkthrough PDF
  • 3 Activities/Worksheets

-----------------------------------------

Important Details:

Since I built this Escape Room with a website creator instead of a software there's no way to save a student's progress through the story line, however, a student can easily find his/her way back to his/her last activity by progressing through the parts of the story he/she had previously finished.

Creating this Escape Room was quite the undertaking. I've had numerous editors; I've double checked the text, as well; and I had my students on the lookout for any errors -- if you find any grammatical errors in the text, please notify me and I'll update the website as soon as I can! Thank you!

** For Digital Copies of the worksheets, please go to: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qCsChxyUTairKTz09HRpCktzmqICfX0tpxOy9mRQWOc/copy **

Please make sure you contact your school's Tech. Team in advance to ensure that Wix.com isn't blocked for your students. I believe most programs don't block Wix.com.

Good luck, you Hardcore Educators!!

I use this escape room with sixth graders every year as we wrap up our main idea reading unit. They LOVE it! However, make sure you change the settings in safari. Zoom needs to be at 80% or less on iPads for the entire screen to be visible.
