[ISLMA-Share] BreakOUT kits

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I have done 1 box for a whole class and each group has to do a different
task to get the combination for a different lock.  So one group had the
directional lock, one had the 4 digit lock etc.

Today, I did 2 boxes - class split into 2 groups both doing the same
activities.  As Kathy said, it's a LOT of work to set it all up, so I found
it easiest to have both groups doing the same activities.  This time, I
just put a file folder with 6 different tasks - 4 of which led to
combinations of locks.  So even though the kids had the same tasks, they
did them in different orders and I don't even know if they realized they
were the same tasks.  It really went well.

I am finding though, that the kids solve things quicker than I expect them
to.  I thought the activity would take 35 min. and it only took about 20.
