Challenges: Some students may not Description: I ask my students to take have a representative object. In this out an object (artifact) from their bag or wallet and use it to explain how it represents them as an individual or as a member of their cultural group. situation, I allow students to take out a photo, either print or digital, if they have one which serves the same purpose. One thing I also do for students who are stuck is to share my own objects. Sometimes it might be a keychain or even the key for my car, or my necklace which has a charm on it. I don’t want to give too much help that might replace their own ability to think through what works for them.
