Identity Book
IDENTITY BOOK - Entry #1: Who am I?
Write a response to the general question: “Who am I?” The response should be at least one page in length, typed and single-spaced. I am looking for well-organized paragraphs that deal with the different aspects of who you are.
Include details about your physical appearance that are easy to describe and not too personal (i.e. age, sex, height, hair color, eye color, etc.). You should also include descriptions of things that make you unique – your smile, your walk, the kind of clothes you wear and the things that your friends identify with your personality. Try to be as specific as you can.
Furthermore, include information about your goals, achievements, ambitions, and dreams. What are the things that you have done that made you proud and what do you plan to do next? Mention your hobbies and strengths. Also, mention your beliefs and your insecurities. All of these things make up your personal identity.
Do not simply just list your traits. Go into depth about your dreams and goals. Why are your hobbies interesting and valuable to you? Where do your beliefs originate and how do they shape your personality? These are the types of questions that in-depth writing will address.
The written section will be checked for completion next class.
Part 2
Add creative and visual elements to your written response to the question above. This entry is not complete until it includes visuals that add to your answer to the question,
”Who am I?”
You can use visuals that represent your progress through life to this point. Get pictures from when you were a little kid or baby up until now. Include some pictures of places you have lived and people you have known, plot them on a “life map”! Start with birth and carry on past now as long as you like – even include your future. Do not forget to include lots of color, dates, special occasions, places, people, pets, clothes, toys, vacation, and stories!
HELPFUL HINT! Do not use too big of a piece of paper or you will take forever trying to fill it! Instead, gather all of the images that you are going to use on your map first, then spread it all out and sort of arrange it – this should help you see the size of paper to use! Place the images around your written section, or put them on a different page. You decide!
When completed, this entry will form the first entry in your Identity Book
