Identity and Belonging  

CHECK the VOCABULARY at the start of this Learning   bite

Task 1 :Discuss and write about all the influences that have shaped you.

What makes you 'you'?

Task 2 : Create a mind map with your name in the centre – include arrows to

all the influences or in any form you like - SEE a simple EXAMPLE in

RESOURCES below.

  INFLUENCES : 

Consider the following :

Family - hobbies - appearance - age - gender - groups you belong to

- things you like and don't like - what else? 

WHAT MAKES YOU ‘YOU’?

 What are your family’s values? What is approved of and 

what is frowned upon? How has your family influenced you? 

Ask a family member to write a brief paragraph about you as a child and,

now as a teenager. 

What changes have they noticed? Which family member do you most look like or take after?

  Are friends more influential now than they were when you were in primary school?    Why?

Write a paragraph about yourself as you think others see you in the present. Write this in the third person – She is tall and often bossy…. (me writing about myself!!!) 

Or ask a friend to write about you. Ask them to be kind and honest.

Include images of favourite music, food, movies, games, fashion, places, sport and other ‘stuff’ that you like.

Include images of the things that you do not like –  boredom, political beliefs,

places, irritating behaviour, some types of food or music...

Pivotal Events :

Consider pivotal events that have changed you or made you aware of who you

really are and what you believe in. This is a tricky one. I realised that life has its pivotal moments when I was a child.

Pivotal events can be small things or big but they make an impact. 

They can be events that don’t happen to you directly but affect you, even world events.

Hobbies?

Your achievements - Judo? Scouts? Sport? Winning a competition or

participating in it? 

Being a good friend? What else?
