Life Skills

__ Things You Should Know __

Do you think there’s certain skills that everyone should know just to navigate life easier? Do you think these skills change over time? Is this change good? During this Generations project, you will identify a life skill that may be outdated or a future skill that may come into fashion. Please teach this skill to the next generation. The format you chose is very flexible, but your “student” should be able to complete the task at hand once your instruction is complete. During Mr. Harris’ generation it was important to know how to change a tire in an emergency. Mr. Harris created a video for his daughters to be able to watch in order to understand how to successfully change a flat tire.
