CREATE A
TIMECAPSULE
We’ve come to our last week, well done for making it this far! As most restrictions are slowly lifting and society slowly returns to ‘normal,’ what you have created will serve as a permanent record of what society looked and felt like during this time.
For the final task, we want you to reflect on everything that has happened and look to the future.
Write a letter addressed to yourself in 12 months' time and then film yourself reading it.
This task is all about remembering how you have felt during this time, to look back at when it might all be a distant memory. So try to be really reflective, think about things like:
-
What things do you want to remember?
-
What things would you rather forget?
-
What new skills have you learned?
-
What new things have you noticed about yourself?
-
How has this experience changed your outlook?
-
Will you miss anything about this time?
-
What are you most looking forward to once things return to 'normal'?
Don’t forget to check out our ‘How to: Vlog’ video for some tips and tricks, before you start filming. And when you're done, submit here.
