How does it work?

In order to graduate from your ELA class and make it to summer vacation, your students must escape your classroom by solving 5 different poetry-based puzzles, discovering a secret message, and finding clues along the way.

• Changing Tides: In the first task, students must will identify poetic devices in the poem, The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls by Henry Longfellow.
• School's End Sonnet: In the second task, students will answer multiple choice questions of a sonnet about the end of the school year.
• Watch Your Tone: In the third task, students must match excerpts from summery poems with their tones.
• Maze Craze: In the fourth task, students must solve a word maze.
• Van Gogh's Wisdom: The final task brings everything together in which students must input the codes from the first 4 tasks into a quote by Van Gogh using rhymes. When the quote is complete, they will escape to summer vacation.
