Who am I? Identity Portfolio

Students explore identity through forgiveness and justice, immigration, and making a difference. Each novel, poem, short story, and writing piece is carefully chosen with identity in mind. The assignments were designed to make them question who they are and what they stand for. This year, I had my students create an identity portfolio from all of their writing pieces.

Why? The following pieces were included in their identity portfolios: Bio Poem: A fun reflection in prose.Forgiveness Personal Narrative: After reading The Sunflower by Simon Weisenthal, students question their ability to forgive.

Engaging Students in a Study of Identity: A Flipped Classroom Exercise

This month we are excited to launch a new online resource that grapples with issues of both personal and community identity. Sholem Aleichem and the Challenges of Modernity looks at the life and times of Sholem Aleichem, a Jewish writer and humorist who lived from 1859–1916 whose writing is noted for portraying eastern European Jewish life with both humor and compassion. (His name may or may not be familiar, but you probably know his work - his short stories about Tevye the Dairyman were the inspiration for the musical Fiddler on the Roof!)
