Welcome to TWOSday - 2/2/2022. For this project, you will create a Time Capsule which will allow you to select a few primary sources from your own life. A time capsule will allow you to reflect back on what life was like in 2022. What was popular, historical events, your personal preferences and other important events/items in your life. The next date in history will be 11 years from now on 3/3/2033. How much will you have grown? In which ways will our society have changed? The purposes of doing this “Personal Time Capsule” are: -To provide a record of your life and who you are now -To anchor in time your current views, attitudes, philosophy, and outlook -To analyze your personal characteristics and the relationship to your future -To create a document that, years from now, will have significant value to you
