"After The Test" US History Time Capsule Final Project

*Easily adapted to any history couse*

This .pdf includes directions and a rubric for a project requiring students to create a time capsule from a moment, event, or era in history. My students take a Georgia Milestones Assessment then have two weeks of school left, and since we have the pressure of a high-stakes assessment weighing us down all year, I spend quite a bit of time remediating during the year. Once the Milestones Assessment is over, however, I like to provide engaging projects that appeal more to the artistic and tactile students than an interactive notebook might. I typically allow my students to choose a topic from a list of events, included in the directions, and to work in partners.
