We have a simple time-capsule, class reunion project that was started 3 years ago at our inner city Dallas middle school with a focus on the future. Preliminary indications are that 10th grade enrollment at both high schools our students attend has now gone up 10%. Not bad for a project that only required a 350-pound vault which was quickly donated by our local home improvements store. Other costs involved total about one dollar per student per year for paper, envelopes and a photo for the students. A survey of 400 students last year verified that the project is very popular with them. Teachers have liked it from the start. It motivates students to write the letter to themselves that they then place into the vault for the next decade. When they return for their class reunion they know they will also be invited to speak with the then current 8th grade class. They will give their recommendations for success. They are told to prepare for questions like “Would you do anything differently if you were 13 again?” See http://www.studentmotivation.org for details.
