The Black Hole

​Seemingly bored with his dull existence, one mans life is changed for ever when the photocopier in work  churns out a portable black hole.

The man is tempted to use the black hole to steal things.
He first uses the black hole to steal from the vending machine and then from the office safe, however it doesn't go to plan.

Teaching Ideas
Ask the children to discuss what they would use the black hole for. Can it only be used for 'bad' things?  Could it be used for good?  If this was produced in the school photocopier room would it be best to keep it or destroy it?  Can we justify our answers?

Writing Ideas

• Write a narrative about someone who finds the 'black hole' page, 
• Write the next part of the story, who finds the man in the safe? Does he get away with it?
• Write a newspaper story about mysterious crimes that have been occurring, take witness statements etc that details seeing someone use the 'black hole'
• Write a description of what they place is like on the other side?  Is it the same? Is it an opposite dimension, it may seem the same but somethings may be slightly different.
