Westampton Middle School

As part of our Dystopian Unit, the students in Mrs. Coston’s Resource Language Arts class completed their reading of the novel The Giver by Lois Lowry by solving puzzles in a Digital Escape Room. This activity was a great way to have students work collaboratively and practice problem-solving skills while also demonstrating their understanding of the story. The overall goal of the game was to "escape the cold" and enter a warm house where a Christmas celebration was taking place... just like Jonas.  To open the lock, students had to work together in their small groups and solve a series of clues based on major plot points and themes from The Giver.
