Conclusion
for Students
Now that you have given your report to the head archeologist,
the mystery of the time capsule has been unraveled and the knowledge
you’ve acquired can be spread to the rest of the historical
community. Thank you for your help in unlocking the past
so we can better prepare for the future!
Possible extension activities:
-
A local publishing company is in need of a biography based
on the family that buried the time capsule. Choose a family
member and write an “autobiography” from that character’s
point of view.
-
Tell us more details about the life of the family you’ve
discovered. What did they do for a living? What were
their hobbies? How did they feel about the war?
- Word got out about finding the time capsule. A boy from
a nearby town wrote a letter asking questions about the time
capsule. Reply to his letter and answer all his questions. He’s
your biggest fan!
Dear Archeologists,
How
exciting to hear the news of your recent findings. When
I grow up, I want to be an archeologist, just like you! This
summer I’m even going to archeology camp! I do
have a few questions about the time capsule you found. How
many artifacts were in the capsule? Was it locked? Also,
which artifact did you think was the most important to finding
out the time period it came from? Which artifact was
the most confusing? What could you tell about the people
from that confusing artifact? Wow, archeology is so
neat! Write back soon.
Your
friend,
Archie
