This lesson was inspired by the book, Mama's Amazing Cover Cloth. I like this lesson because it makes you stop and think about one object that is important to you. This is a take on Show and Tell. The following essential questions stood out to me because they give opportunities for fun information that may not necessarily be shared in a traditional Show and Tell.

• Where is it? Does it stay in the same place or does it move around?
• Do you own it, or does it belong to someone else, or no one at all?
• Why is it so important?

Doing a think, pair, share routine and then have children draw and write about their object would be a nice addition to their identity project. It also makes as a nice keepsake. You could take pictures of each onject and child to include in a classroom book.
