What Do I Have To Do?
Steps:
Create a time capsule that best represents your history. You should create this time capsule in a presentation
format. You will be turning in one file that contains all of your time capsule items. Your time capsule should
include the following information:
One primary source from your life.
**Remember, primary sources are documents, images, or artifacts that were created by someone who was
an eyewitness at an event or at the time of the event. For your primary source you might want to include
items such as a picture, a journal entry, a birth certificate, or baby teeth.
One secondary source from your life.
**Remember, secondary sources are items created after an event occurred, using primary sources as
references. For your secondary source you might want to ask an adult about an event that happened in your
life that you were too young to remember. Then you will write out a short story about that event. This story
then becomes a secondary source since you are retelling an event using the adult as the primary source for
reference.
A timeline from your life.
**Your timeline should include at least five important events in your life. You should write a 1—2 sentence
description of each event and include photos or illustrations.
