This resource has wide appeal and placement in curricula, so it’s up to you how long to spend on the activity. With 9th graders in a regular class, I’d plan on 75 minutes.
I’ve included some options for having your students pre-read the articles or splitting the activity over two or three days. There is a lot of reading in this Escape Room, so it really depends on what fits your classroom.
As with any Escape Room activity, I recommend that you play through it on your own first before presenting it to your students.
