An idea based on 5th Grade Student’s book (page 134) was the creation of an intercultural project in the form of a time capsule for each country presented. The project was presented in steps and students involved were given the following written instructions so as to be able to follow them by having a clear idea of what they are expected to create.
STEP 1: Finding people coming from different countries in our class.
We wrote down the names of the countries of those coming from them and agreed on the creation of time capsules of some other countries that interested the students as well. For example:
COUNTRY- NATIONALITY (in our class)
- Albania
- Australia
- United Kingdom
- USA
STEP 2: Gathering information
Students were explained that for the creation of this project they will need to gather the following pieces of information:
- Greetings: These could be in simple phrases such as “hello”, “goodbye”
- Favourite song: This could be a traditional or a contemporary one. Students were encouraged to use the link of YouTube and/or write the lyrics or a verse on a piece of paper.
- Favourite recipe: This could be given in a form of ingredients-instructions or they could find a picture of it.
- Map: This could be a picture from the internet.
- Landmarks: These can also be pictures coming from the internet and a very short text about their importance or history.
- Literature excerpts (my favourite one): Students bring some work or part of the work of the most well known writer of their country.
- Famous people ( I think students’ favourite piece of info): Students find pictures of famous singers, actors, painters, athletes etc.
- Any piece of information they consider important because it represents the country.
STEP THREE: Presentation
The teacher collects the information and creates a sway presenting EACH country guided by the corresponding student.

STEP FOUR: Time capsules in store
Store the material in a capsule to keep it in our class. To this end, we used some plastic bottles and stored the information in little pieces of paper.
Finally, this project was assigned to students with a two week deadline and judging from everyone’s reaction the day of the sway presentation I can say that they really enjoyed it.
