Certain unit topics in AP® Human Geography, like agricultural origins and the diffusion of crops and animals, lend themselves especially well to engaging review activities. When students are preparing for unit exams or the AP exam, the cognitive challenge isn’t just recall. It’s making connections across regions, diffusion patterns, impacts, and processes.

One strategy that increases engagement, reinforces spatial reasoning, and encourages collaborative problem-solving is the mini escape room review which is a timed puzzle-based activity where students solve content-linked clues to “unlock” the next step. Click here to see the preview!
