Time Capsule



Imagine that you find a box buried in your garden.
It looks old.

What questions come into your head about this thing?
What are you thinking?
What are you wondering?

After the Christchurch earthquakes a mystery capsule was discovered hidden in Cathedral Square.

NOW imagine you are going to fill a small box with items that could be used to tell a story about  you and what your life was like in 2013.

Imagine your box was hidden for 1000 years before it was opened by another living person!
Just like the discovery of the tomb of an Egyptian King!


What would you put in your box?
What things could tell a story about you?
What things could tell a story about life in 2013?

Things to consider:
Your time capsule should be personal and meaningful. 
You are creating a personal window into history.
You should keep in mind that your capsule needs to represent part of your own history.

Items like: 
photos, scrapbooks, movies, books, newspapers, mini-models, a CD of favourite music, a news paper clipping, a menu from your local fish and chip shop, a small toy, old money, a pressed flower, a diagram of your house, a map of where you live, a ticket to the movies or a sports game or a plane ticket, a mini map of New Zealand, a copy of a grocery bill, a self portrait... a letter to someone in the future
