Time Travel

Hello everyone!

I hope you are enjoying our unit on time travel so far--I think there are some interesting things to learn about. I hope you liked The Sound of Thunder as well, Ray Bradbury is a great writer and I highly recommend checking some other books of his out when you have the time.

Now, I want everyone to check this website out and read about some of the more finer details of the theory and concepts of time travel.

Now for the assignment. After we have watched the small video on time travel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGrBNtJjsU0) I think we will be ready to speculate on our own personal time traveling goals. I want each student to make a presentation on either PowerPoint or Keynote that will answer a lot of questions about why you would time travel and who you would like to meet. Pay attention to the example I show in class and use it for a basis for your own work. Some of the important questions you should ask yourself are:

“Where would you go?”
“To which year or period of time would you travel?”
“Who would you want to meet or what event would you want to witness?”
“Where would you find this person or see this event?”
“Why would you want to meet this person or witness this event?”
“How might you change history?”--This is a really important question to ask (and answer!) for the presentation. Really think about if your actions will create a paradox, if they will have consequences and what might happen to the future you return to...

We will work on everything in class this week, if you have any questions just email me:
