I actually used this in conjunction with an electrical circuits lesson for a summer school. The study of cryptography gave students a bit of motivation to build a Morse Code circuit so they could pass secret messages to each other. Then my main job was policing any improper language but that is an afterthought

Used this as an enrichment to our WWII unit, it was a fun activity, especially the code writing. Paired perfectly with our history unit and sparked some good discussion regarding the codes and spy work done during the war.

This was a great foundation resource and sparked some ideas to modify or enrich, to suit the students and our unit. Everything was print-ready and the students enjoyed writing in code. I like the variety of options included in this pack!
