Credit: “Who Am I?”, OER Project, https://www.oerproject.com/1PurposeIn this activity, you’ll begin to explore some of the characteristics that make up your identity, that define you and make you unique. This will allow you to see that you are a member of multiple communities and that people no longer have singular identities, but rather multiple ones that are interconnected. This activity will challenge the idea of a single narrative that tells the story of your life or (on a larger or more global scale) that of history.PracticesContextualization, scaleYou’ll assess your roles or identities in a variety of the communities of which you are a part. You’ll begin to contextualizeyour identities within different communities and your role in a broader or more global framework. In addition, you’ll engage in some scale switching as you view your identity on a local, regional, national, and then global scale.ProcessIn this activity, you’ll start with a discussion about identity and list the different identities you have (for example, at school, home, on sports teams). Then, you’ll draw representations of how these identities fit into different spatial scales using the Who Am I? worksheet. Finally, you’ll wrap up the activity with a discussion about similarities and differences that can be seen when comparing each of your drawings.
