Essential Question ( Over the River and Through the Woods)

In the story over the river and through the woods, Ellen Forbes gets a visit from her grandchildren from the future. She discovers that the children are from the future when she reads a letter addressed to her grandson. The letter tells her that she dies of cancer in 1904. This is something that can be used to answer one of the essential questions “how knowledge effect our future”. She knew what was going to happen to her in the future and how she was going to die. This gave her the knowledge on her future and this would affect her actions because she would live up to that mentality on when and how she would die and all of her actions in the future would be made to fit those conditions.
