Missing Milk Carton Ad

OVERVIEW: Imagine if the three Mrs. W’s swooped in to help Meg and

Charles Wallace because they read about the father’s disappearance on

a milk carton! As the first part of your final project for A Wrinkle in

Time, you will create a 2-Panel Missing Person Advertisement on a

beverage carton (milk, orange juice, etc) to demonstrate your

understanding of characterization in Madeleine L’Engle’s novel. It is an

independent project. Since he left before Charles Wallace began

speaking at four years old, Mr. Murry was gone for over a year. So think

about how Mrs. Murry, Meg, Charles Wallace, and the twins would

have put together a missing person report. Be creative!
