Writing Task 2 – Allow 35 minutes for this task.
You have decided that you are going to bury a time capsule in your garden. You can make a time
capsule from a metal biscuit tin which is 30 centimetres square and about 12 centimetres high. A
time capsule captures a moment in time for people in the future. You can put anything you like into
a time capsule but remember that it is not very big. It should give people of the future a picture
of your life and what it is like to live in the world today.
Think of three things that you would put in a time capsule. You are going to write a formal letter
to put in the time capsule to tell people in the future why you chose these items and why they are
important to you.
You should include:
 An introduction setting out the reason(s) for writing
 A section explaining what the items are and why you chose them
 A conclusion that summarises your main points and says what you plan to do next.
Write your letter in the appropriate way, using a suitable format for your audience.
You will be assessed on:
 presenting your work clearly and in a logical sequence
 including relevant information and a suitable amount of detail
 well structured with sentences and paragraphs
 accurate spelling
 correct use of punctuation
 correct use of grammar
