Doomsday clock is ticking and fast approaching midnight.
There are only 90’’ left. Will we find a way to make it run slower, or even tick backwards, giving some hope to the earth’s future? Taking the right decisions might make a difference. There is an urgent need to escape disaster. Fast fashion is increasingly adding a huge burden on the environment. Rapid production on new inexpensive clothing available to consumers withing weeks negatively impacts the environment in numerous ways. Students in this lesson, design and create their own escape rooms aiming to invite their peers to play, learn and think about fast fashion. A basic requirement of each escape room developed by students is to focus on facts and numbers that indeed surprise, challenge previous knowledge and hopefully become memorable to students. Students are encouraged to study material from the web about fast fashion and search for “fun facts” that may be useful in writing quizzes for their peers to solve and escape the room. They also create a narrative line to make their escape room interesting. Lesson concludes with students presenting their escape rooms.
