Why did Bonnie & Clyde divide US public opinion so much? Escape Room.

This lesson is titled “Why did Bonnie and Clyde divide American opinion so much – Escape Room.”

The lesson begins with an Odd One Out Starter Activity designed to get them thinking about the lesson. The Key Question is then introduced along with graduated learning objectives (all will/most will/some will). There are then slides of background information to enable teacher exposition and a hexagon of six possible reasons is shown. The class then begins their main activity, which is an Escape Room. There are six clues to figure out, meaning students can unlock the six tasks. They read the information about their character and complete the sheet as a team. If they complete all six, they attempt the final Boss Box. The lesson concludes by revisiting the stated aims and a plenary activity asking students to add to the hexagonal grid reasons and evidence that answer the Key Question (they will have acquired this knowledge by completing the info grid as they open all six boxes).
