Time Travel Tragedy

Reporting live from an unforgettable moment in the history of humanity:  YOUR TEACHER'S NAME's class has officially touched down in  A PLACE IN AMERICA, in the year 1864. That's right, 1864: right in the middle of the Civil War. The students have traveled here —  ADVERB — in their very own  A TYPE OF VEHICLE, which  THE NAME OF THE STUDENT WHO HAS THE NEXT BIRTHDAY COMING UP modified especially for time-travel by adding  ADJECTIVE  PLURAL NOUN to the  PART OF A CAR. Now that the students are safely in the past, they'll begin  VERB ENDING IN ING for answers to three questions that historians have so far failed  ADVERB to answer: What was medicine like during the Civil War? How was music used during the Civil War? What artwork was important during the Civil War? These questions, of course, are— What's this? I'm receiving a message from  THE NAME OF THE STUDENT WHO LIVES FARTHEST SOUTH through my  ADJECTIVE headset. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh... no. Oh no. NO! Oh,  ADJECTIVE  PLURAL NOUN! What will become of these  ADJECTIVE students?! (Clears throat.) Ladies and gentlemen, it pains me to report that  YOUR TEACHER'S NAME's class is STUCK in 1864. Their  ADJECTIVE time machine has become mired in  SOMETHING GOOEY.  YOUR TEACHER'S NAME has pulled out their  NOUN and is working  ADVERB to un-mire the vehicle. In the meantime, the students are heading out  ADVERB to begin their research. We send them  ADJECTIVE wishes, and we hope  ADVERB to view their livestreams in nine weeks' time.
