Does it have to be tz? How about ray bradbury's a sound of thunder? Altho they might have had that in high school. But also timely. The butterfly effect, ya know.
I dont have a good feeling for what myth is.

The actual chapter is in the contemporary myth section, and it’s about the journey into the unknown in Westerns and science fiction, examples being Stagecoach and Firefly. I have no idea if the kids have seen either, and they are both too long to watch in class (50 minute class). So a TV show 20-30 minutes long seems ideal. Doesn’t have to be the Twilight Zone, just something that involves a journey into the unknown, be it physical or psychological.
The Ray Bradbury Theater is a good idea too.
