How This Capitalization Escape Room Activity Works:
Students work in small groups and move about the classroom to five different stations to complete puzzles and activities related to capitalization rules. The goal of the escape room is to complete the task at each station successfully and retrieve a variety of mystery code words. You can also choose to use the bell-ringer option where students do one station each day to progressively get closer to escaping by Friday. Below are the 5 tasks students will complete
- Capitalization Puzzle: Students will assemble a jigsaw puzzle that reveals hidden text on four cards. They will correct the capitalization errors on those cards to reveal a four-number passcode to move to the next floor.
- Capitalization Close Reading: Students will read a military memo that contains capitalization errors. When they correct them all, it will reveal a hidden password to input into the bunker's elevator.
- Capitalization Matching Game: In this station, students will match up example sentences to the capitalization rules they are following. Once they have them all correctly connected, it will reveal a hidden word they can use to move to the next floor.
- Capitalization Code Cipher: In this station, students will correct capitalization errors on four cards that contain secret codes at the top. Once they have the errors corrected, it will reveal secret instructions for how to decipher the codes and determine the passphrase.
