This lesson involves reading about the discovery of an old time capsule and a letter inside written by a student named Marion in 1953. You'll learn about her school life and some aspects of life in the past. You'll also practice choosing the best headline for a news story and compare Marion's life to your own.
- The first part is about Tom Harris: He found an old time capsule buried at a school in the UK. It contained old school books, poems, photos, and a letter. He thought the letter was the most interesting thing.
- The second part is a letter: It's written by a student named Marion in 1953 to a "Dear future student." In the letter, Marion describes her school life, her teachers (Mr. Parks is her form teacher and teaches English and History), what they do in class (write with pens and pencils, sing songs), what they wear (uniforms), and some things about life outside school (no fridge at home, limited electricity, a black and white television).
