How to put the idea into practice
Guidance is needed in teasing out ideas to capture, supporting writing and facilitating access to materials.
It is up to the learners what they want to include in the time capsule.
It aims to get children focused on gathering objects, creating artefacts that are important to them. It also helps them to identify what is important to them and they enjoy doing. Allows for discussions of experiences under lockdown.
