For this project, I am requesting materials for Breakouts. Breakouts are games that transfer the ownership of learning from the instructor to the student, making it easy to observe how learners approach problem solving and apply their knowledge. In addition to the content knowledge needed to succeed in a specific game, all games require critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and communication. A breakout game provides learners with many opportunities to fail and try again. Every unsuccessful attempt to open a lock forces the player to try again. Creating fun and creative ways to teach library topics is what my passion is and this would help all the students in my school. The items I'm looking to purchase are locks and tool boxes so students can work collaboratively to solve a series of critical thinking puzzles in order to open a locked box. Students work together to solve some sort of puzzle and come to the box and see if there answer matches the word lock or combination lock. Once teams or whole a classroom open the box they "breakout."
