Through Time!

Your mission…

• Hop into my time machine and explore the 1960s!• If anyone knows you are time traveling you could rip a hole

in space and time thereby causing a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE! (Don’t ask how zombies got involved… you know how they just sit around waiting for an excuse to end life as we know it… stupid zombies…)

• We cannot risk tearing the space-time continuum (and zombies), so you will have to learn all about the 60s pop culture to blend in when you get there.

• Follow the instructions on this Webquest and you will learn how to fit in with 1960s Americans.
