Tasks

Students complete Task 1 and/or Task 2. In Task 1 students make a virtual time capsule to record life at school now. In Task 2 they conduct an oral history interview with an older person they know, such as a grandparent, about what school was like when they were young.

Task 1

Students make a virtual (digital) time capsule to show future generations what school is like now.

Students work collaboratively to decide what items (images, audio, video, text) to include as a record of their school life. They create, collect and organise the digital items and then make their virtual time capsule as a PowerPoint slide show or in other suitable software.

View and talk about the finished slide show. Afterwards, it could be put on a CD or USB stick and hidden somewhere in the school. Wrap the device well beforehand.
