Time Travel Log 3

Students will write a report back to the Time Travel Research Bureau about their journey to the past. They should “travel” to the period that we covered in class that week. Reports should be at least 450 words and be turned in on Canvas by 5 PM on Friday.

Weekly logs may be either anthropologist-style objective descriptions or in first-person story format. Either way, they should include the following elements:

• At the top of the page, your name, the due date of the report, the readings you read this week, and the date and location that you are “travelling” to
• In the body of the report,
  • include some orientation for the reader. For example, what can you see around you? What is the weather like? What are the people around you doing? What languages are they speaking? What do the buildings look like / what does the landscape look like?
  • include at least three pieces of historical information that clearly come from the all-class readings for M and W.
  • use what you know to tell a story about what you learned about a topic during your time travel mission.

Please check your spelling, grammar, and clarity of thought before submitting your work. If I can’t understand your report, I can’t give you credit for your report.

Here are a few examples of scenarios to give you some ideas!

• After travelling to ancient Babylonia, you nearly trip over a prophet staring at a brick in the middle of a public square.
• You try to join the community at Qumran but run into trouble when you can’t recite passages from the Torah from memory.

• You try to visit Jerusalem in 68 CE and are captured by the Roman army.
