Weeks two and three we furthered our exploration of identity by creating zines that tell stories about our lives. Students learned to fold and cut their own 8-page zines, which they filled with tales of their past, present, and future. The objective this week was to recognize how identity and environment can change over time, but our past, present, and futures selves all impact our current identity.

Weeks four, five, and six we worked on our most complex project yet. The students created miniature dioramas of environments (imaginary or real) that represent their identity. They were encouraged to get creative and include many aspects of their identity, even if it meant the environment depicted became a made-up or dream space. The goal of this project was to envision environments that allow us to be our most authentic selves. 

Week seven we completed our final project for the class which reviewed everything we've learned about identity, environment, how they change, and how they interact. Students created collaged maps of their brains, using many bits and pieces to create one complete image of their mind and identity. The objective of this lesson was to signify how their identities are similarly made up of a vast number of different factors, all of which culminate to make them, them.
