It's an end of year Time Capsule for the students to record some of their thoughts, experiences, and feelings during the recent global pandemic. The Time Capsule includes 5 assignments and it is all due by June 19, however, the kids are free to turn it in before then if they finish earlier. The 8th graders are doing the same project, but with more assignments included. I modified it for 6th graders😃 Happy Tuesday!

Last English Project for the year - Time Capsule
100 points
This is an interesting end-of-the-year assignment. It is a "time capsule" to record your observations of what life was/is like during this strange time of living through a global pandemic. It is cool because it can document this time for you, kind of like a diary. PLEASE READ EVERY PART OF EVERY PAGE. The directions are clearly labeled. If you need anything, please post a question to me in your assignment or you can always email me at tglynn@cmschools.org. Please give your best effort into your LAST project for English:) Miss you guys!
