We started by reading this book:
Hooray for You
Written by: Marianne Richmond
After discussing the concept of "You-ness," the students brainstormed 8 areas they felt shaped their identity. These areas were: family, culture, origin, school, strengths, weaknesses, dreams and hobbies. They illustrated and wrote about each of these concepts, including definitions, examples and stating their importance.
We put all this together in a digital photo essay using this app:
Little Story Maker
The results were fabulous! Students were extremely engaged in the entire process and excited to be working with technology. What an excellent way for them to display their learning and develop their language. This app was easy to use and I would definitely use it again for other projects.
