Jailbreak was my first breakout on the site. I was just learning how to embed the Google Form for the lock codes into the Weebly, and I was playing around with creating bitmojis and avatars. I had already created a prison themed nonfiction text structure activity for TpT. That was the inspiration for the breakout theme. I even used aspects of that activity to incorporate into the breakout. Initially, the JailBreak was extremely tough. I had hints dropped everywhere. Students had to click throughout the site to get the hints. After testing it with my gifted 6th graders, I realized that it was just too complex to complete in a 55-minute class period. My students helped me to make the revisions to simplify it more. I added the map to show which images and keys needed to be used, and I clarified instructions to guide students through the mission. Although it still is one of the more challenging of all the breakouts, it is a great review of language arts topics. My suggestion is to use it after students have experience with the easier breakouts. Comments are closed.
