history is explored using a variety of sources, large and small. some sources, such as letters, books, and newspapers, can be read. others can be seen, heard, touched, and sometimes smelled. historians use these sources to learn about the past—how people lived, worked, and played—and to learn about what happened and why.

imagine that you are putting together a time capsule for future generations. it will be buried and then unearthed in the year 3000. you want to place in it the items you feel best document your life and times. they can be personal items or items that relate to your larger community. name six items you would include. they can be objects, writing, or something in an audio or visual format. what would you include and why? describe each item in one or two sentences mentioning what it is and how it could future generations learn about your life and times.
