Parallel Universes and Citation

✨ Writing Prompt

Imagine a parallel universe where education systems have evolved in unexpected ways, leading to unique challenges and opportunities for substitute teachers. Write a short story (800-1000 words) that incorporates at least three different parallel universes, each with its own approach to learning and teaching. As you create this narrative, ensure you refer to at least two existing science fiction works that explore the theme of parallel universes (e.g., 'The Man in the High Castle' by Philip K. Dick, 'Dark Matter' by Blake Crouch). Use appropriate citation formats (APA, MLA, or Chicago) for your references. Your story should illustrate not only the fantastical elements of these universes but also the realistic implications for a substitute teacher navigating these challenges.
