JailBreak: Mission Malevolent

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.

    I've been a middle school English teacher for over 15 years.  I believe that technology integration is key to engaging 21st century learners.  Digital breakouts are a wonderful way to introduce novelty into instruction and help students to review important ELA topics.
