    Unit 9: Chapter 9
    Pre-Reading Discussion
    Recall with students their discussion in Unit 1 of the literary traditions that A Wrinkle in Time draws on,
    where they talked about the fact that elements of science fiction, fantasy, fairy tale, myth and fable are
    included in the novel. In Chapter 9, these elements are expanded in the discussions among Calvin, Meg,
    Charles Wallace, and Father of the possibility that Charles has been bewitched. Talk now about ways in
    which students have seen aspects of science fiction, fantasy, fairy tale, myth, and fable. Note, for example,
    the fact that tessering is a part of both magic/fantasy and science fiction; the presence of the Happy
    Medium; the fact that the three Ws are, in their witchs garb, part of fairy tale and, in their true form,
    mythologically-based creatures; and the childrens mission to help good overcome evil, a theme that
    appears often in the morals of fables.
    Ask students to consider the ways in which A Wrinkle in Time calls upon these traditions as they read
    Chapter 9.
