Day 2 Station 2
Route Cipher
Student Directions:
- Use the link below to view the Route Transposition Cipher video.
- Use the graph paper provided to complete as many of the self-checking cards as you need to for practice. When you understand the cipher and believe you can correctly use the Route Cipher, you may move on to the Crypto-Practice sheet. You and your partner can work together to solve the riddles on the front of the cards and then check your solution with the correct answer located on the back of the card. If you do not get the right answer, see if you can figure out your mistake. If you need to, ask for help! Mrs. Heiniger is nearby to help! To decipher your riddles, use the graph paper provided at your station.
- Use the graph paper to complete the Route Transportation Cipher sheet in the station. The Route Transportation Cipher sheet will offer you a clue to the identity of an object hidden in the room. Once you have deciphered the clue, write the plaintext for your guess about the identity of the object. Then you will use graph paper to encipher your guess.
- Complete the Frayer Method sheet in the station by explaining the vocabulary word on it with your partner.
- In your crypto-journal, write at least 2 positive and 2 negative aspects of the Route Cipher.
- Put your Crypto-practice form and your Frayer method sheet in the completed papers folder and move to the next station on your station card.
