Our “War of the Worlds” unit has been cancelled.
Reading a 200+ page novel in under two weeks is nearly impossible.
Thus, I’ve decided to change our unit from “War of the Worlds” to “The Time Machine.”
Both are by the same author and they both tackle the same things…except TTM is under 100 pages.

Time Given: • 5 minutesImagine that scientists have made
time travel possible—you can travel many years into the past to correct mistakes you or others have made, or you can travel into the future to see events that have not happened yet. Now imagine that you run an agency that offers time travel tours into the past and future. What commandments (or rules) would you give to your clients? Create a list of 5 to 10 rules of time travel. Why are these rules important to your agency?

Explaining the mechanics of how time operates is rather tricky and…time consuming. (haha)
Ergo, I will attempt to explain it in everyday terms.

The Past = events that have happened already.
The Present = events happening at this very moment in time.
The Future = events that have not happened yet.

In an episode of The Simpsons, Homer constructs a toaster that allows him to travel back in time.
The Simpsons
NO NOTES
During that episode, Homer travels back in time to when dinosaurs roamed the earth. He sneezes on one of them, which causes all of the dinosaurs to get sick and die.
When Homer returns to his own time (the present), he discovers that everything has changed—he is rich, has good children, but also that donuts do not exist.
