Mazes
In the story Flowers for Algernon, the main character (Charlie) tries to beat a mouse through a maze. In the beginning of the story, because he has a low IQ and has not had the operation, he cannot beat the mouse. I gave the students three mazes. The first two are easy, but the third is hard. I wanted them to feel like Charlie does. He is overwhelmed by the complexity of the task. Below are the winners from my three classes.
