In class we had an assignment. The assignment was to fill your identity bag and do an identity map. They both helped me get to know my classmates better!

I think that identity maps were and are such a good idea! They bring out someones true personality and hobbies. Identity maps can really express someone without people talking! The identity maps tell other people their hobbies and favorite activities. Even if you are the one writing it you can actually figure out what you like. You may figure out you like SO many things they don’t all even fit on the paper! I found out that one of my very close friends hates bees?! Such a surprise!  Identity maps bring out someone without motion or talking!

Identity bags were another great idea. It expresses people in a different way then the identity map. People bring in anything and they say represent them because maybe they travel a lot, or they love eating, or it represents their family or anything really! If some people are from different cultures they may bring in a doll from where ever they are from! A bunch of different people brought totally different things! I brought in things that even some of my very close friends didn’t know I had. I definitely learned all sorts of things from everyone’s identity bags that I never knew! It was a great start of the year project and was definitely worth grabbing all the things that represented myself!
