Students will engage in conversations and activities designed to consider diverse perspectives and historical contexts, such as the cultural clashes of the 1920s, while building understanding of how these events continue to affect society and the community today.

Students will articulate the project's goal by discussing how their escape room can illuminate the cultural and societal shifts of the 1920s while shaping narratives relevant to today's debates.

Students will brainstorm and collaborate with peers and community partners to develop creative scenarios for a 1920s-themed escape room inspired by cultural debates and artistic influences of the era, addressing ways modernism and traditional values shaped society.

Students will draft detailed outlines and sketches for their own escape room experience that incorporates key themes from the 1920s, such as the Harlem Renaissance and cultural clashes, using insights from their collaborative brainstorming sessions to create immersive, historically-informed challenges.

Students will implement and test key elements of their collaboratively designed escape room, based on the cultural and historical context of the 1920s, to gauge engagement, purpose, and the understanding of complex cultural debates from that era.

Students will engage in structured peer-to-peer critique sessions to provide and receive feedback on their escape room designs, focusing on depth of content related to the cultural and political controversies of the 1920s, thereby refining their projects for impactful exhibition.

Students will examine outcomes from the escape room challenge, analyze their problem-solving strategies, reflect on how cultural clashes in the 1920s influenced societal change, and predict how these insights will inform the creation of their own escape room.
