 Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 

## Step 1

 

 

###  Prepare:

 Think about your own identity and culture. Brainstorm (list, draw, write, or type) your ideas: What are the parts of your identity (things about yourself such as personality, skills, interests, physical attributes, hobbies) and culture (your attitudes, customs, and beliefs)? How do the parts fit together? How did you learn or discover your identity and culture?

###  Explore Identity Maps:

 Look at the identity maps, explore the links, or search for other identity map options. Select an identity map that draws you or one that you can see yourself using with students, or create your own identity map.

###  Create Your Identity Map: 

 Organize your ideas in any way that you like, three circles, a table with three columns, images, a map, anyway that makes sense to you. Use crayons, markers, pencil, images - you can make this digitally or on paper and take a picture of your map - your choice.
