Here is the example we used in class. Remember do not copy!
In 300 years, archeologists will find my bedroom and they will be horrified at the clutter. My bedroom is very messy, even though it is only I live there. In the mess they will find a guitar, two key boards, tropical tree art, a lava lamp, a stop and go light, a surf board, laundry piled in the corner, food under the bed and big drool stains on my pillow. The ARTIFACTS that will best teach the archeologists about me is my instruments, the surfboard, and the fact that my room is really messy.
First, my room is really messy because I am a very busy person. I love to play the guitar and keyboard and spend most of my free time doing that. I love music, especially guitar because I can really wail out and drive my sister crazy. But, I am also really good and play in a band so I need to practice. Another artifact that best represents me is the surfboard and the tropical things because I love to go catch a wave on my board. So when it is nice out, I hit the beach. The overall messy room happens because my mom gave up on getting me to clean it. I am happy I won that battle because cleaning my room is really a waste of time when I have all this other cool stuff to do instead.
These artifacts are important part of my life and they show archeologists that I am a really cool person. I am in a band, I surf, and I have control of my mother so I never clean my room.
