This project will provide an engaging method to explore curriculum while promoting collaboration and critical thinking. The great thing about this, is my class can use this strategy for learning across the curriculum. It will continue to challenge students to thing outside of the box and to value all input. I look forward to seeing the results! The way these boxes work is that I can set the locks to a certain combination that students will then have clues related to an area of study to solve collaboratively. Once they solve the clues correctly, they can then unlock the box. However, they must solve many clues before the ultimate prize, the breakout box can be unlocked.
