A pioneer girl arrives at the student's school via time machine. Three things that would surprise her are: 1) electricity and appliances like lights and computers, 2) indoor plumbing with running water, and 3) the diversity of students in terms of gender, race, and religion compared to her time. The student would need to explain modern conveniences and a multicultural society to the pioneer girl.
