  2. Starter • What sort of equipment would a time traveller need?

  3. Starter Watch Laptop/iPad/Tablet Encyclopaedia Dictionary Jacket Backpack Food Camera Portable Charger with batteries Mace • Consider the following list of equipment.

  4. Let’s read through an extract from ‘The Time Machine’…

  5. I drew a breath, set my teeth, gripped the starting lever with both hands, and went off with a thud. The laboratory got hazy and went dark. Mrs.Watchett came in and walked, apparently without seeing me, towards the garden door. I suppose it took her a minute or so to traverse the place, but to me she seemed to shoot across the room like a rocket. I pressed the lever over to its extreme position. The night came like the turning out of a lamp, and in another moment came to-morrow. The laboratory grew faint and hazy, then fainter and ever fainter. To-morrow night came black, then day again, night again, day again, faster and faster still. An eddying murmur filled my ears, and a strange, dumb confusedness descended on my mind.

  6. What is being described here? I drew a breath, set my teeth, gripped the starting lever with both hands, and went off with a thud. The laboratory got hazy and went dark. Mrs.Watchett came in and walked, apparently without seeing me, towards the garden door. I suppose it took her a minute or so to traverse the place, but to me she seemed to shoot across the room like a rocket. I pressed the lever over to its extreme position. The night came like the turning out of a lamp, and in another moment came to-morrow. The laboratory grew faint and hazy, then fainter and ever fainter. To-morrow night came black, then day again, night again, day again, faster and faster still. An eddying murmur filled my ears, and a strange, dumb confusedness descended on my mind. How is it being described?

  7. With the person next to you complete a mind map similar to this, using key words you’d use to describe each area: Flashing See nervous Feel (emotion) If I were in a time machine I would… cold Feel (touch) Hear thunder
