lesson idea for shoe:

Introduce the lesson by telling students that they will look carefully at, talk about, and read about something that people wear everyday. These objects are used today and were used long ago. You might also tell students that these objects come in many sizes, are made from many different materials, and can be used for different purposes.

2.	Show students the shoe or boot and pass it around so that each student can examine it. Using the Artifact Analysis Questions as a guide, have students consider the attributes of the shoe and what the attributes tell students about the object. You may choose to write students' responses to the questions on a sheet of chart paper or the transparency you created. Note: You should monitor the discussion, making sure that all students are involved and the discussion remains focused. Five to ten minutes should be ample time for this analysis and discussion.
3.	After the artifact analysis, introduce Shoe Shoe Baby by Bernard Lodge. Tell students you will read aloud a book that takes a funny look at many kinds of shoes that people wear and why they need such special shoes.
4.	Read the book aloud to students. When you are finished reading, talk about why each character wanted such special shoes. Help students recognize that each shoe was related to the specific needs of the wearer.
5.	Conclude by having students describe what they think is important about the artifact shoe. Relate these attributes to the unit topic you are studying as appropriate.
