Rush Limbaugh
- Reading
- Read together and pause after the time-travel visits to separate imagined adventure from historical claims. Invite your reader to ask what they would want to check or learn more about.
- Themes
- Patriotic view of the past: A teacher-led time-travel adventure brings students to the Mayflower and Plymouth Plantation, while the invitation frames the nation as exceptional and its young readers as patriots. The framing clearly favours patriotic identification with the nation; how that sits alongside complexity or differing perspectives is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The Mayflower crossing is described as rough and dangerous. The extent of any peril or distress in the scenes, and how the book handles hardship, remain unclear.
