What educators are saying
Description
Can students break the codes to win billions in riches? This overarching lesson covers the Stamp Act, Boston Massacre, Tea Act, the Proclamation of 1763, and events that led the US colonies to war. Each section tests student skills, knowledge, and understanding with a resource map that is on TWO printable pages and in a Google Form! Students use the resource map and clues to decipher a code that is entered into a Google Form. If they are able to enter all of the correct codes, they win a chest of riches. In a fun, optional summary activity, students can complete a "what I would buy with the billions a won" activity available for print or in a Google Ready format.
In order for students to progress to the next section, they have to get the correct answers, so grading is a snap! It's also a great group work assignment for Google break-out rooms, or it can be done individually. Here are the activity sections that students will complete:
1. Map Navigation for a Code! Students use map skills to get a code!
2. Claim, Evidence, Reasoning to unlock the code! Students choose the best evidence that supports a claim to get a code
3. Decipher the code! Students figure out a message written with a secret code about achievements.
4. What is in a Quote?- Students read a primary source quote to figure out a hidden message!
5. Word bank code! Students fill in the vocabulary word blanks to get a code.
6. What do you see? Students view key visuals of artwork and resources of the era.
7. Crossword for a Code!
8. Vocabulary matching OR organizing a key achievements timeline for a code (this activity varies with version)
Here's what comes with this activity:
1. Teacher Directions
2. A Two-Page Resource Map for print or to assign as a resource in Google Classroom
3. A Google Form link that has students fill in codes. Hints appear if they do not enter it correctly the first time!
4. A Key with hints and helpful charts to give to struggling students.
5. A "I Broke the Code and Won Millions in Riches" activity ready for print or assigned in Google Classroom.
This activity is both fun and skill-based!
