How could you decide which of your late mother's possessions are important enough to take to college with you? Decide which items would be the most valuable to you with an activity based on Kyoko Mori's Shizuko's Daughter. After learners read a list of 15 items, they rank each in order of importance, discuss their opinions in small groups, and compare their decisions to Yuki's choices.
