With answer sheet in hand students will walk around the room and practice close reading skills by reading & rereading a passage several times to solve 6 different challenges. Each station requires students to use various skills, ultimately leading to the final escape room challenge! The best part…NO PREP for teachers. JUST PRINT, POST STATIONS, & GO!
 
This activity can be used for Valentine's Day, partner activities, sub plans, extension activities, early-finishers, stations, or independent work. How you choose to set it up in your classroom is up to you. You may choose to do one station per day or complete them all in one or two class periods.
 
PLEASE NOTE: This activity is the SAME as the VALENTINE'S DAY HISTORY ESCAPE ROOM, however it is redesigned to allow students to walk around the classroom to solve challenges rather than stay at their seats.

***PLEASE NOTE: There is a short paragraph in the passage that includes the Christian relation to Valentine's Day. Here is the paragraph for your reference:
 
Fast forward to the 5th century AD, when Christianity was on the rise. The Church, wanting to replace pagan customs, declared February 14th a feast day for Saint Valentine, a martyred figure. But who was this Valentine? Historians aren't exactly sure. Some believe he was a priest who secretly wed couples against the emperor's wishes, while others think he sent a loving message signed "from your Valentine" before his execution. Regardless, the association with love stuck.
