Dear Susan,
Perhaps you could make the show and tell last from 3-5 days, separate them
into groups that will show each day, taking just a portion of the class
time. During the rest of the class, use the items as part of a project, or
begin a "personal project." As far as using the actual show and tell items,
students could do a group of sketches (you could introduce observational
sketching). One idea for a personal project would be doing a
"self-portrait" but instead of drawing themselves, they could draw items and
symbols that represent them, make it look like a collage of items or a still
life.
