Pearl Harbor high school US History Digital Escape Game
By Frenchified
Are you looking for a new way to make the events associated with the attack on Pearl Harbor more interesting for your students? Look no further! With this no-prep digital escape game, your students can dive into a world of adventure as they uncover the truth about Pearl Harbor.
The game includes access to a website where students need to locate the keys that will unlock a set of locks. Here's where the real fun begins — each key has its own unique code, so they'll need to pay close attention and watch videos, visit websites, and read texts in order to find the information needed to win.
This game is easy to use – just send your students off on their adventure and let them do the rest. They can play either individually or in teams. In addition, this digital escape game is highly adaptable; it can be played anytime, anywhere - even at home!
Introduce some excitement into your virtual lessons and encourage your students’ critical thinking skills while still having fun with this outstanding Pearl Harbor digital escape game.
It's 1942. The Japanese have attacked Pearl Harbor. They plan to attack again, but you can stop them! You've got the code-breaking information, but in order to get to it you'll have to figure out the combinations to unlock the box where the decryption information is locked. Learn and review the important events surrounding the attack in this Pearl Harbor digital escape game.
Digital escape games are a fun way to start a unit, or to review at the end of a unit. They can also be used to learn about a cultural or historical event. This game will have your students reading carefully and paying attention to the smallest details in order to complete the challenge and unlock the locks.
This item includes:
Your students will enjoy learning without even realizing that they are learning! The challenging game format will get them excited about finding the code to unlock each lock - and the format of the clues for each lock will have them paying close attention - there's no way to solve the puzzles without being 100% focused!
Topics in this game include:
Prep is very easy - you just need to share the website URL with your students. You may want to test the site before you use it, just to make sure nothing is blocked by your district. As some of the clues can be challenging to unlock, you may choose to help your students with the trickier ones. With the teacher guide, you will have the answer key - so you can help guide students towards the correct answer by giving them hints, or if you have limited time, you can adjust the game by reducing the number of locks they need to unlock - just give them the answer(s) to help the activity fit your time constraints.

U.S. Constitutional Compromises: Inquiry Approach
By Sarah Austin
This lesson will have students explore & debate the five major compromises that were made at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. The delegates were charged with the task of amending the Articles of Confederation. However, they quickly decided to replace the Articles and write a new constitution. Because the delegates came from all parts of the country, they differed on a number of key issues. In order to keep the convention going and ensure ratification of the Constitution, the delegates had to compromise a number of times. As a result, the final document is sometimes described as a "bundle" of compromises.
