Have you ever made an identity map? If not, I can tell you all about them. An identity map is basically a map or web with aspects about yourself, such as hobbies, favorite foods or favorite colors. I will share parts of my identity map and some of the parts of my classmates identity maps.

There are so many aspects on my identity map, if I had to choose the three things that are most important to me on my identity map they are my camp Pocono Springs, Skiing and Shopping. For instance, I really like Pocono Springs because I made new friendships and had a lot of fun. I also got to try new things and do all the new activities that I’ve never done before. It was my first year at camp and everyone was so welcoming. Additionally, I get a break from my brother because he doesn’t go to camp. Another thing that is important to me is skiing because I’ve gotten really good at it. Also I’ve been skiing since I was five. Another reason is I go every year to Vermont mostly and I have a lot of fun. To add on, it’s really fun learning new techniques and going on new slopes especially in new places that I don’t always go to like Colorado where there’s a lot of snow.I really like shopping because I like getting new clothes and things like that. Also I like going to the mall and stores because I like looking around for random things to buy. Another reason is I get to do something that involves me getting stuff and there’s so many things I want so I get it and I don’t want to be with my brother and he hates the stores I shop at.

 Now that you know what’s important to me I’ll tell you what connections I have with my tablemates.My tablemates are Zoe, Nico, Andrew and Juan and I learned a lot of things about them I also learned that we have a lot of connections. I learned that Zoe likes reading. She likes Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Olympians, Heroes of Olympus and Keepers of the Lost Cities. She likes many other books and likes to read chapter books. A connection that we have is that we both have a brother. Also we are both girls. I learned that Nico has a family of four. He has his brother, his mom, his dad and himself. I also learned he’s Brazilian and loves pizza. A connection is that we both have a family of four and both have a brother. I learned that Andrew likes the FC Barcelona soccer team. He likes it because his brother would watch it a lot and he likes how they play. To add on, he likes to see how he can improve and play soccer. A connection that we have is we both have brothers. I learned that Juan plays hockey. He started when he was four and still plays it. I also learned that he likes sports cars. A connection that we have is that we both have younger siblings.

In conclusion, I think working on this project helped us learn some things that motivate each other and brought us closer together as a community. I also learned that I have a lot in common with my classmates. Now that you know all about identity maps, maybe you can make one yourself!
