A Wrinkle in Time is a science fiction chapter book good for ages ten and up. This book is an adventurous piece of work written by Madeleine L'Engle which tells a story of the fight between good and evil. The theme of this book is how love can conquer all!
A few motivational activities I would include after reading this novel would be sonnets and character webs. Character webs are great for helping students keep track of the characters and roles in the novel. This book's theme is the power of love so students would be able to write sonnets to tell about A Wrinkle in Time. The students should be provided with example of sonnets for students to study.
Questions I would ask are:
- How do you think the group is going to fight evil?
- Why does the dark thing seem evil?
- Why is love the only thing that IT could not control?
Some of the events in the book is somewhat hard to imagine. Students should be encourage to use their imagination and create their own illustrations that other classmates could view to help bring the characters to life!
This book is a part of the series about the Murry family called Time Fantasy series, including A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Titling Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time.
This book is a great science fiction book for grades 6th and up! There are many activities that could be included in the classroom after reading each chapter and offers readers a chance to show how creative and engaging they could be after reading it.
