B. Application: Develop skills and apply techniques of clay sculpture.

C. Reflection and Evaluation:(DW blog entries) Evaluate your work and describe your process in your DW (Developmental workbook.)

  1. Personal Engagement: Demonstrate curiosity, self-motivation and willingness to take informed risks. Support and encourage peers.
    Objectives:

  • Make a Time Capsule box inspired by an Egyptian sarcophagus. (You can use your own style, symbols, and creativity—not just copy a sarcophagus.
  • Decide upon something that you want to seal inside the sarcophagus.
  • Write entries in your DW (Criteria A. and C. assignments above.)

Time capsules can take many forms.


They are sometimes set into corners of buildings, or they can even be cars...


They can be launched into space, to be discovered thousands or millions of years from now.
