The Time Machine Discussion, The Vanishing Model

Pair each discussion guide with the matching chapter as students read. Use the pre-reading debate to open the novel and the whole-book response to close it. Choose the postcard or museum sheet as a creative extension.

Compare how the Psychologist, the narrator and the Medical Man explain a vanishing model machine. The directions on the page read: Read the scene from Chapter II of The Time Machine. The scene continues on page 2. An answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade novel studies, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.

The set has 9 worksheets on H. G. Wells's novel. It includes a pre-reading debate, four discussion guides, a whole-book response, a quote response on the Time Traveller and two creative sheets, Postcards From the Year 802701 and Plan a Museum Exhibit From the Palace Galleries.

Yes. All 9 worksheets have an answer key. The writing sheets have keys too.

Students read printed passages from Chapters I, II, IV, V, VI, XI, XIII and XIV, including the dinner table talk, the vanishing model, the first ride and the visit to the Palace of Green Porcelain.

Students write postcards of about 35 words in the narrator's voice, museum labels of about 20 words and complete-sentence responses that use evidence from the passages.
