Welcome, friends. In making SwiftRiverResources.com, I have found that some things just don't "fit" into the framework of the site. Here are some of the things I have found online that bring to life the study of A Wrinkle in Time. Please use these alongside your journey starting on SwiftRiverResources.com.
Listed below are a description of the book from the publisher and posted on Amazon, articles from Wikipedia, crafts, recipes, activites, and projects as well as some points to ponder about the story from Common Sense Media.
Please also find a PDF below with a full set of extra worksheets and word lists from SwiftRiverResources.com. Note: teacher keys and auto-graded quizzes are still accessed through a subscription to SwiftRiverResources.com.
Excerpt from Amazon.com:
It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger.
"Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract."
A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book. A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem.
