Happy New School Year to All, A teacher at a school here has given the assignment that students must acquire a picture of a time machine. However, they must not use the HG Wells book. Can anyone : 1. explain what educational validity this assignment has (if my daughter came home with it, I'd send her in with a picture of a clock), I mean, what could the goals of this unit be (besides to frustrate the students), 2. tell me whether the teacher understands that such a device does not in actuality exist, so why would one artist's conceptualization be less valid than another's, 3. explain why the teacher is not having the kids create their own time machines, 4. lead me to non-Wellsian images of time machines? Several of these kids aren't even aware that a time machine does not really exist. They're asking for pictures of "real" ones.
