The Great Gatsby Escape Room

By Language Arts Excellence

Get ready to have the most fun you'll have teaching with a lesson that your students will be talking about for years to come with F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby ESCAPE ROOM!

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to work together and think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! This meticulously-crafted resource features all of the materials you need to conduct a full-length Escape Room for The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Planning an escape room may seem like quite the daunting task, but this product provides everything from the basics and set-up instructions to signs and answer keys so that yours runs smoothly from start to finish. The activity involves movement, energy, creative thinking and most of all, collaboration. Your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize the higher order thinking skills they are applying in the playing of this game!

How does it work?

Instead of entering your classroom, your students have shown up to one of the extravagant parties at the Gatsby mansion. They are surrounded by people dancing, drinking, and acting as if they have not a care in the world. But then they notice a man that looks as if he does not fit in with the crowd. He dons overalls and his face is covered in grease…and he grips a revolver tightly with his right hand. Now your students must locate Gatsby within his mansion before this mechanic on a mission gets to him! The only way to escape is by solving 5 different skills-based puzzles, discovering a hidden message, and finding clues along the way.

  • Gatsby F.I.T.B.: In the first task, students must complete fill-in-the-blank sentences using vocabulary words from the novel. The vocabulary cards, once assembled correctly, will reveal the first code.
  • Guess Who: In the second task, students must match each character from The Great Gatsby with one of their notable quotes from the novel by drawing a line connecting them. Letters not intersected by these lines will form their second code word.
  • Plot it Out: In the third task, students must order the major plot points of The Great Gatsby on Freytag's Pyramid. When ordered correctly, letters in the shaded boxes on the chart form their third code.
  • Criss-Cross: In the fourth task, students must complete a crossword puzzle about major plot points, characters, setting, and quotes from the novel. Circled letters within the crossword, once unscrambled, reveal their fourth code.
  • Missing Word: In the final task, students must assemble a jig saw puzzle that forms a notable quote from the novel with one missing word. Once the puzzle is assembled and students figure out the missing word, they may escape the room and save Gatsby!

Product Includes:

- Escape Room Basics

- Detailed Day-Of Instructions

- Escape Room Print & Classroom Preparation Checklist

- Student Teams Chart

- Materials for 5 Tasks: task signs to be folded upright, task instructions (2 per page for easy printing), and necessary information to be kept at stations

- Student Answer Sheet

- Teacher Answer Keys

- Escape Room Reflection for homework or in-class writing activity

- Theme Reflection for homework assignment or in-class writing activity

This escape room is an ideal way to end your unit on The Great Gatsby and a great way to review for the final test.

By Christa Nonnemaker

This resource bundle includes the following items:

*Colonial American Women: Power Point Presentation

*Colonial American Women: Reading Assignment and Worksheet
*Colonial American Women: Analyzing Primary Sources and DBQs

Power Point Lesson

This 22-slide PowerPoint presentation covers women's experiences in Colonial America between 1607 and 1763. It is an ideal lesson for the colonial period or as a stand-alone resource for women’s history. It is also a good resource during Women’s History Month.

Each slide contains primary sources and images that highlight the varied experiences of women in colonial America. Some specific women are highlighted through primary source excerpts and images. Native American women's experiences during this period are explored in more detail in the Native American Women PowerPoint Presentation in the Women in American History Series.

The PowerPoint file is included as a Bonus file.

This is also available as a digital resource through Easel. Students may review independently.

Reading Assignment and Worksheet

This five-page Reading Assignment and Worksheet provides an overview of the various activities, attributes and activities of women in Colonial America between 1607 and 1763 which was the start of the French and Indian War.

Students can read this on their own as a homework assignment or it can be a group activity in a classroom. It is also ideally suited for home-schoolers or independent learners who want to learn more. A Worksheet with questions based on the reading is included, along with an Answer Key.

Reading Assignment - 3 pages

Worksheet - 2 pages

Analyzing Primary Sources

This 21-page Primary Source Analysis activity gives students a chance to delve deeper into life of colonial women prior to the French and Indian War which began in 1763. They will be able to determine what issues were important to women and how they contributed to society. Included is a one-page sheet that explains what primary sources are and how to analyze them using specific questions through a process called HAPPY. Primary sources include pamphlet excerpts, photographs and posters. Each page of primary sources includes questions. There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to one source. There are also two DBQ questions. An Answer Key to all the questions and the HAPPY process is available at the end of the packet. This is excellent practice for all high school students, particularly Honors and AP students, but all students will find these resources engaging.

Students can read this on their own as a homework assignment or it can be a group activity in a classroom. It is also ideally suited for home-schoolers or independent learners who want to learn more. Teachers can assign just a few sources to analyze or the entire packet. Student time will vary. A Worksheet with questions based on the reading is included, along with an Answer Key.

This is part of the Women in American History Series which includes PowerPoint lessons as well as Reading Assignments and Worksheets, Analyzing Primary Sources, Activities and Teaching Bundles for other eras.
