Director George Pal’s film The Time Machine, based on H. G. Wells’ 1895 science fiction novella and starring Rod Taylor, Alan Young, and Yvette Mimieux, is the focus of a lesson that considers the consequences of time travel. Viewers ponder questions the film gives rise to, such questions as: what three books they would take to the future, the four dimensions, and the Six Pillars of Character (trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, citizenship).
