A memory box can be made out of any sort of discarded container. Decorate your container with paints, markers, paper and string. This is your special box for holding memories. Think about the senses that help you to remember--smell, taste, sight, sound and touch. Collect a group of objects that address each of the senses but hold a particular memory for you of places and people from your life. Place these objects in your memory box and share them with your classmates.
