This WebQuest offers 6th grade social studies students the opportunity to explore different aspects of life in Ancient Greece and Rome.

Introduction

You are a young person living in Greece or Rome in the year 450 B.C.  You and your friends have decided to bury a time capsule so that future young people will know what your life is really like.  A time capsule is a container where we store items of our time to be discovered later; it tells future generations the story of life in our time.  It is your job to create a time capsule that will represent different aspects of your life in ancient times fairly and accurately.
