Discovery of a Time Capsule
When defining an era such as the 1960s, a lot of images come to mind: the march on
Washington, psychedelic music, peace signs, the antiwar movement, the
assassinations of prominent political leaders, and so on. In this Assignment, you will
explain which of the events, people, and symbols best define the 1960s.
Assignment
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 five items that define the
era of the 1960s.
For this Assignment write a brief paper that covers the following:
1. Describe each of the five items you have found.
2. Explain why each of these is especially important in defining the era of the
1960s.
