Topic
It is the year 2325. You are a prominent archaeologist who has just been summoned to a dig site because your colleagues have made a unique discovery: a time capsule from the 1960s that was buried long ago. Very carefully, you and your colleagues unearth and open this time capsule. Inside the time capsule you find three items that define the era of the 1960s.
1. Describe each of the three items you have found.
2. Explain why each of these is especially important in defining the era of the 1960s.
3. Based upon these items you have found, what is one major lesson that you have learned from the 1960s?
Hint: The objects you find in your time capsule do not necessarily have to be material items, but can also be events, trends, fads, etc. For example, your time capsule may contain assassinations, the Vietnam War, or the women's movement. Also, feel free to be creative with the types of items that you find. For example, perhaps you have found a letter written by an antiwar protester to the government, or a song by famous 1960's musician, or perhaps a piece of artwork by a famous 1960's visual artist.
