WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING:

"I used this last year with my students. If you are thinking about buying this resource - stop thinking and BUY IT! My students were so engaged in their learning that they begged for more escape rooms. This seller knows how to make escape rooms, and she knows how to make them engaging and rigorous. Thank you so much!"

-Liz B. (Introduction to the Harlem Renaissance)

"This activity has given my teaching new life, and the students had fun while learning at the same time. I highly recommend any of Nouvelle ELA's materials."

-Kelly D. (Escape Room Resource Box)

"My students loved this experience. It was challenging for them which I liked. They really had to rely on their groups for assistance. It was so fun to watch the active problem solving."

-Molly S. (Poetry Review Escape Room)
