The Patriot Day Heroes of 9/11 SCAVENGER HUNT STATIONS will take students on a mission all while learning about eight of the many heroes that emerged on September 11, 2001. This scavenger hunt is engaging and includes an escape room aspect where students decode a final mystery word and secret 8-digit code, leaving your students eager to finish the task.
 
With answer sheet in hand students will walk around the room and practice close reading skills by reading & rereading a passage several times to find the answers to 8 different questions. The catch… students will NOT know where to find the answer so they will have to visit, skim, browse and revisit the reading passages several times to find the answer they are seeking.
 
The best part…NO PREP for teachers. JUST PRINT, CUT STATION CARDS IN HALF, POST STATIONS, & GO!
 
This activity makes a perfect supplemental lesson to you September 11th Patriot Day or history activities, but can also be used for partner activities, anticipatory sets, sub plans, extension activities, early-finishers, stations, or independent work.
 
ADDED BONUS: 2 optional extension activities have been included to further the learning and fun!
