Time Machine<\/h2>\n

Warmup<\/h3>\n

Listing<\/p>\n

Read the Things They Carried<\/em> by Tim O’Brien<\/a>; we read only the second paragraph<\/p>\n

In the same fashion, pick a place and time. \u00a0This could be a classroom, field, hospital, store, airport, subway station, etc. \u00a0Then list as many items as you can. \u00a0Stretch your imagination to include things you think could be there. \u00a0Do different people of rank carry different things? \u00a0What do these items say about the people?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Discuss<\/h3>\n

If the selected place is in the past, gather books about fashion or buildings of that time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Write<\/h3>\n

Close your eyes. Step into the time machine and listen to the machine’s whirring hum as you are transported through space and time…<\/p>\n

Whom and what do you see?<\/p>\n

What do you hear?<\/p>\n

What are people doing?<\/p>\n

What confuses you about your new surroundings?<\/p>\n

What is your conflict?<\/p>\n

Continue<\/h3>\n

For inspiration, look up images of magical imagined places or of history<\/p>\n

Old photographs<\/p>\n
