Ask the students to imagine that they believe in the same kind of afterlife that the Egyptians did. Have them make a list of their favorite pastimes and things that they would like to have with them forever. Suggest that they write a story about the things on their list and/or draw a picture of their ideas. The class could make a time capsule into which the students would put their lists and pictures and even small objects. They could also write letters to people of the future, who might be confused about what some of the things are.
