Creating an Identity Box

I was given an great opportunity to propose a project to my grade 7 students from an activity idea generated from the Holocaust workshop. I chose this as the culminating activity for our Holocaust novel study on the book, I Have Lived a Thousand Years.

Most all the students were very enthusiastic about completing this project and did an excellent job of their identity boxes. They all had magnificant ideas about who they were and what represented them. In particular, there were three students who were often very quiet and not as outgoing as the other students who truley show dedication to the project and themselves.

My decison to choose these three students for the student are show at UNBC was not a difficult one. I was intrigued by the creativity and effort shown by these students. They were able to express themselves in a manner that was very unique.

Sadly, none of my studens showed up to the art show, to admire their beautiful art work, however there is merrit in knowing that for the three weeks I was in my practicum, I was able to see a creative and confident side of these three students who normally fade into the background.
