What teachers like you are saying:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This is a highly engaging, detailed lesson on the Harlem Renaissance. It provides students with an overview on many different aspects of the era, covering historical background as well as specific artists. Students will definitely enjoy the variety of puzzles and tasks.” – Samantha H.

 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “A culturally-sensitive resource that avoids some of the ‘rosy’ accounts of the era.” -Gambria L.

A Word About Timing:

This Introduction to the Harlem Renaissance 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 40-50 minutes.

I had a 7th grade and 10th grade teacher test it, and they both said they would have been better off splitting it into two class periods (leaving the Secret Poem and the Extensions for Day 2).

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.
