PATH FORWARD CARD - ROW 4

Create a time capsule to share with the class of 2123!

The University of Saskatchewan has developed a time capsule kit for any class in the Notice Nature region to request. These kits include a time capsule box, an assortment of supplies, and instructional templates that will help you create your capsule. The capsules will also include two documents for students to fill out and submit to the University of Saskatchewan’s special archival project. 

Challenge your class to think about history through fun letter-writing scenarios. Divide your students into groups and have them create messages of advice from the future or from the past. Three scenarios will be provided as prompts for the students. Messages of advice could be in the form of a letter, a video, a play, or a drawing. Creativity is encouraged!

Interview a senior in your community (in person or online).

Students will create set of interview questions that will help them gather information about their community and learn from individual experiences.

Examples:

What was the most memorable event in your life?

What advice would you give today’s youth?

What Is your favourite thing about our community?

What is one story from your childhood that you would like to share?

As a class, pick a tradition, event, or activity that is special to your community. Find out who organizes it and why it was created

2.      Invite a service group to present at your school
