Literacy and Breakout EDU
NRMS 6th grade ELA teachers harness the fun and challenge of Breakout EDU to help students better understand Procedural Text. What does a teacher do with one week until winter break and the curriculum calls for a unit over procedural text? Arrange a small group lesson called "Elf Panic" of course.
Perhaps you have been wondering how to incorporate Breakout EDU into an authentic experience in your curriculum. Kathy Harvell, Kylie Norell and Bailey Haugaard were thinking "BOLD" when it came to literacy this week. The team decided to harness new technology to help their students master "understanding and writing procedural or work-related texts to communicate ideas and information to specific audiences for specific purposes." (TEKS 110.17)
During a recent PLC training they had expereinced the exciting new puzzle game called Breakout EDU. So they already knew how powerful the process would be in helping students with the curriculum unit. The challenge they decided on was "Elf Panic" which fits in nicely with middle school students and the holiday season. Librarian Julie Pursley helped the team set up the locks, plan the process and provided valuable tips based on past Breakout sessions.
If your campus doesn't have a Breakout EDU box contact your campus DLS or play the digital version of "Elf Panic" instead. For more timely Breakout challenges visit the seasonal games section of Breakout EDU.
