Looking at Me-In the Future

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students interview family members for important details and funny stories about themselves when they were younger. Once interviews are complete, they list interesting facts about their life today then predict what their life will be like in 10 and 20 years. They write and illustrate their autobiography on a 3-D box.
