Curriculum
My name represents me curriculum Overview
In this unit students investigate the meaning of their names through personal symbols and items that represent them. Students listened to the book, Alma and How She Got Her Name, and connected the importance of their names to images that they then brainstormed. Students drew images after they were prompted with items such as what they like, what hobbies they have, and what makes them smile. Students then took an image that they drew in their brainstorming and then incorporated that image into a letter of their name.
