How does it work?
Your students must face their first major challenge of the new year and are stuck in your classroom until they solve 5 challenging Language Arts skills-based tasks about the Chinese New Year.
- Chinese New Year Fun Facts: In the first task, students will read 8 fun facts about how people celebrate the Lunar New Year. In each passage, students must identify the incorrect homophone and correct it.
- The Amazing Zodiac Race: In the second task, students must locate the incorrectly spelled word and correct it.
- Chinese New Year Stats: In the third task, using context cues, students must fill in the blanks in 8 statistics about the Lunar New Year.
- The Tyger: In the fourth task, students will perform a close reading of The Tyger by William Blake. Letters of the multiple choice question answers following the poem reveal their fourth code.
- Word Maze: In the final task, students must complete a word maze. Once students complete the task and bring their complete answer sheets to you, they may escape the room and start the Chinese New Year off on a strong note!
