Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
These are some interesting devices that would be used in a historical sense! I grew up watching Indiana Jones, and playing video games with historical tilts like the Uncharted series. Some of my fellow teachers have been creating escape room activities for their lessons and I wanted to run with that idea, but how about some historical artifacts in the mix of it all?
That's where these devices come in!
These were featured in one of the Da Vinchi code films, and it lead to some historical clue to the plot of the story...
I digress! I imagine myself setting up stations around the room and each of my 6 groups will be given one of these devices to break the code for a revealing answer to that question, lesson, or what have you of the day!
I think this would make my students really excited to get engaged in a special escape room style lesson.
Your help achieving this goal will make a real difference in my classroom. Please consider brightening several classrooms filled with students with your generosity by contributing to us.
