Complete and Incomplete Sentences

This is a virtual escape room to complete with your students after reading Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. Students will be answering comprehension questions about the story and also having to fill in the blanks for some sight/spelling words. Students could complete this in groups or as individuals.

I would recommend giving students 30 minutes to complete this escape room and displaying that timer in your classroom or on your screen somehow. The only things students will need are a device and maybe a whiteboard or paper for taking notes while they complete the escape room. I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review.

Special Thanks to Plearn for supplying the Lorax Clip Art. Go check out Plearn’s Store!

This bundle includes 10 Lorax products I have created. These products include multiple movie-watch-along, activities focused on characters and events, coloring sheets, a virtual and physical escape room, and a Lorax-themed jeopardy game! I hope you enjoyit. Please rate and review!
