Time Travel Student Sample

“To which year or period of time would you travel?” Questions “Where would you go?” “To which year or period of time would you travel?” “Who would you want to meet or what event would you want to witness?” “Where would you find this person or see this event?” “Why would you want to meet this person or witness this event?” “How might you change history?”

“Where would you go?” I would go to the 1970s. I think I would like to travel to New York City during that time. I am interested in sports, especially baseball. New York would have been a great place to visit and watch a baseball game at the finest stadium of all -- Yankee Stadium. I think it would be interesting to go to New York Yankee Stadium because it looks exactly the same now as it did in 1970. It is one of the stadiums that hasn’t changed, and it would be great to visit then and even now.

“Which year or period of time would you travel to?” I would like to land in 1970. I would like to see how people lived in 1970. I would really like to go to a Yankees game in New York in 1970.

“Who would you want to meet or what event would you want to witness?” I would like to go to Yankee Stadium and meet the great catcher, Thurman Munson.

“Where would you find this person or see this event?” I would like to go to Yankee Stadium and meet the great catcher, Thurman Munson. I would get a ticket right behind home plate to see him when he made his great catches. I would also go on another night and sit in the right field bleachers. I would try to catch one of his great hits. Thurman was the best catcher in the American League. He hit 113 home runs. I would like to be there in 1970 to see Thurman Munson when he hit .302

“Why would you want to meet this person or witness this event?” I would want to go to Yankee Stadium to see the 1970 Yankees. Some interesting things happened with the NY Yankees that year. On November 25, Thurman Munson won Rookie of the Year. On April 12, 1970, the Yankees dedicated plaques to Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle. They were two of the greatest Yankees and two of the best baseball players of all time.

“How might you change history?” I would tell Thurman Munson that he should never go flying because he later got killed in a plane crash in 1979. He learned how to fly his own plane so that he could fly home more often to be with his kids. Munson was good for baseball. He was a great player and a great man. I think if he had been a player longer it would have been very good for the Yankees and for baseball.
