This digital grammar escape room style challenge is a new and fun way to engage your students and improve their understanding of commonly confused words and some homophones! The detailed Google Slides presentation introduces commonly confused words with clear examples, ensuring student understanding from the start, and a pre or post-assessment self-grading Google Forms quiz allows you to assess student understanding effectively. The highlight of the resource is the engaging digital escape room-style challenge, where students read an original narrative back story where they must avoid a ship from hitting an iceberg. Then, they must collaborate in groups to crack a commonly confused words-related challenge to unlock the solution and unlock the ship's navigation controls.

This is a Google-compatible resource and students complete all the work on the computer. This works well with distance learning, 1:1 classrooms, remote teaching, Google Classroom, Google Drive or for online education.
