Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 9
This one-time lesson is an introduction to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, sometimes called a wonder of the medieval world.  Students will learn the basic answer to who, what, where, when, why, and how regarding the tower. To make it a fun learning experience, it is structured as an escape room where students solve riddles, answer questions, put things in order, etc in order with interactive, digital material to understand the Leaning Tower of Pisa and collect letters to discover a secret quote. This helps the students interactively learn facts about the tower.  To check what they learned at the end of class, we will spin a wheel and randomly answer who, what, where, when, why, and how questions about the tower.

Depending on the class size, students will work as a whole class or in small groups.  There will be a presentation slide show that students will go through to read the adventure, solve the problems, and record their clues.  There will be plenty of discussion between students and the teacher.  

No prior knowledge of the Leaning Tower of Pisa needed. 

All material will be screen shared on the teacher's computer. Learners will need nothing outside of the Outschool's Zoom classroom.

Learning Goals

Students will gain introductory knowledge of who has been involved with the tower, where it is located, what caused its leaning, when it was begun, built, closed, and fixed, why it has been a struggle to fix, where it is located, and how it finally straightened. They should be able to summarize the information by the end of class.
