My students need a chance to have fun while still maintaining the rigors of an AP course. BreakoutEDU kit allows me to create an "Escape Room" based on US History or European History topics.
My students are hardworking, young adults who are willing to take on an academic challenge by pursuing an AP class. My students are overwhelmingly sophomores, meaning that they take a college level course, with college level expectations at the young age of 15 years old. They work incredible hard at improving their reading, writing and critical thinking skills. For many students this is their first AP class or accelerated course.
I want students to leave my class with a love of history but more importantly the ability to critically analyze sources and make informed decisions.
My course stresses critical thinking and writing and while it is challenging for many students, in they end they feel a sense of accomplishment for completing the course and a majority of them will also earn scores high enough to qualify them for college credit on the AP test.
These students are driven, innovative and hardworking. They are our future leaders and the future is in good hands.
