CLUE: The Health Edition In Summit

SUMMIT, NJ - It was Danielle DeGraw, in the classroom with the experiential education as Lawton C. Johnson Summit Middle School (LCJSMS) students learned about addiction through a live action version of the board game CLUE.

DeGraw’s 7th grade health class played the game to review their unit on addiction. The students started in the health room with a gallery walk scavenger hunt that led them to their first location around the school. Each location had a QR code. QR is a Quick Response Code that consists of black squares arranged in a square grid on a white background, which can be read by an imaging device such as a camera.

Once read, the data usually sends the user to a website. In this case, the QR code brought students to a video clue of a suspect's investigation file played out by LCJSMS teachers as CLUE characters. Each new location and video brought the students closer to their objectives.

Included in the fun were Dr. Steffany Baptiste, Ashley Raven, Gary Burns, Bill Hogan and Randy Wallock. DeGraw thanked her colleagues for being a part of this lesson.
