Students may
scoff at the idea that time travel is possible, so outline the
misconceptions and possibilities presented in Chapter
2. Read Chapter 1 and give The Time Out Test.
Writing/
research activities:
For a rewarding, comprehensive activity, ask students (either individual
or in small groups) to prepare their own Time Trip (they can read the
story in Chapter 5. With the help of
the school or public librarian, you can present students with a list of
key events from your town's past. Students can select an event, read
about it (perhaps at the public library or local history society) and
complete a Time Trip Plan form
(p. 81). Then students can share the results of their research with the
class.
