Section Activities |
1. Descriptive Writing On page 73, L'Engle describes how Meg feels when she accidentally touches down on a two-dimensional planet.
2. Lights for Us to See By On pages 82 and 83, Charles Wallace, Calvin, and Meg name historical figures who have been our own "lights for us to see by"-and who have helped Earth fight the Dark Thing. Their list includes Jesus, da Vinci, Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Bach, Buddha, Gandhi, and others. List ten more inspirational figures from our world. There is one condition: unlike the list from the book, yours must contain only persons living in the 20th and 21st centuries. Be prepared to explain your choices in a class discussion. 3. Conflict In A Wrinkle in Time, the internal conflicts are those that Meg has with herself. The external conflicts are those Meg has with other people or creatures and the Dark Thing. In this group activity, consider all of Meg's conflicts. Decide which are internal and which are external. Using the figure you are given, record internal conflicts inside of the figure and external conflicts outside. (c) 2004, Prestwick House, Inc. |
