Learners will explore one of four world wonders in each session. They will learn the basic answer to who, what, where, when, why, and how regarding each famous landmark. To make it an engaging 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 each place and collect letters or numbers to unlock the final puzzle. The interactive, game-like structure helps students learn facts in an interactive way. 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 place being studied. Students will work as a whole class to work their way through the tasks. 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. Week 1- The Taj Mahal Week 2- The Colosseum Week 3- The Leaning Tower of Pisa Week 4- The Pyramids of Egypt
Learning Goals
Students will gain introductory knowledge of each landmark. They should be able to summarize the information by the end of class.
