[ISLMA-Share] BreakOUT kits

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

A question for those of you who've responded already, or will respond later: what grade level are the students you've had working with the boxes? I just ordered some also, with a plan to work with sophomore level English classes this spring.

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.
