The Task

Now imagine that you have just been chosen to be part of an important committee. The Virginia Assembly has just been formed in Jamestown, and the Assembly members want to celebrate by creating a time capsule. The time capsule will hold ten items that represent life in the Jamestown settlement. Your job as a Committee is to create a time capsule to present to the Virginia Assembly for approval. To choose the items for your time capsule, you will use information about the Jamestown settlement from the World Wide Web. You will need to persuade your group members and the class that your items belong in the time capsule.
