You could put anything and everything inside your module. The students interviewed older citizens of Parry Sound to ask them about their lives and how Parry Sound had changed over the years.
The project was designed to give the people of 2087 as much information about life in the Parry Sound of 1987 as possible. In order to do that the students made sure that they included details about their daily lives, what sort of things they like to do, what school was like, what jobs their parents had, what they watched on TV, what music they listened to. To give as broad of a picture as possible they bought a module for the inmates at the Provincial jail that existed at the time. We don't know what they put in, but it will definitely be of interest to those who open the Time Capsule in 2087.
