Description

This content-driven Escape Room will take students through important details of WWI focusing on the American Experience and the Home Front. Google Slides format is designed to challenge and engage students as they learn about WWI. Includes a student Note Sheet & 26 slide no-prep digital escape room. A Google Forms version has been added as well -- my preferred format for Breakout Rooms.

Through embedded videos, maps & readings, students will learn key details about WWI! This is ready-to-post & can be completed fully digitally or you can print the optional student Handout provided for in-class use. Well-suited for APUSH and US History (not a World History focus)

NOTE: this escape room has links to 3 YouTube videos. Please check this is compatible with your school’s firewall settings. Links to videos below...

Trench warfare
Espionage & Sedition Acts
Armistice

Topics:

  • Intro: Trench Warfare
  • Lusitania, Zimmerman Telegram & US entry into WWI
  • Propaganda & the Committee on Public Information
  • The Home Front & the War Economy: War Labor Board & War Industries Board
  • Espionage & Sedition Acts
  • The Armistice
  • Discussion Question: HOW DID WWI AFFECT AMERICANS? 

Break-out Rooms can be fun but often times may lack substance as the puzzles are not content-related. For students to "break out" of this activity, they will need to demonstrate mastery of the material!

Please let me know if you have questions. You can email me at yeoldeushistoryshoppe@gmail.com and I am happy to help.

This activity is included in my APUSH Period 7 Comprehensive Unit. Also, check out my other Comprehensive APUSH Unit Bundles. Entire units ready to teach/post digitally or print!

Looking for AP Writing Resources? I also have a DBQ Tool Kit to further support student writing development & a pack of 16 original DBQs to help you provide ample practice opportunities for your students beyond the released College Board DBQs that are all over the internet.
