In the first month of school, we made identity maps. Identity maps are a way to express who you are and what you like. Making one is challenging. First, use a ruler to make lines. Then, write some things you enjoy inside the lines. Finally, you start to draw. For example, if you did something like sports, you could draw basketballs or a soccer net! You get to do whatever you want. That is how you make an identity map. Find out more next!

There are a lot of categories in my identity map, but there were a couple of activities that I just really liked. One aspect is Pokemon. I think one of the reasons why Pokemon is so interesting is because it allows people to immerse themselves in a world filled with fantastical creatures and exciting adventures. The idea of capturing and training our own Pokemon, battling against other trainers, and exploring new regions is incredibly appealing to many people. Additionally, the variety of Pokemon available – each with unique abilities and personalities – means there’s always something new to discover and new strategies to try out. Whether you’re a casual fan or a dedicated player, the world of Pokemon is endlessly fascinating and entertaining.  Another element I liked was science. Science is fascinating because it allows us people to discover new information about the world we live in. It helps us to answer questions about how things work, why things happen, and what we can do to improve our lives. Through science, we can explore the mysteries of the universe and unlock the secrets of the natural world. It is a constantly evolving and advancing field, making it even more exciting to learn about. Whether you are interested in biology, chemistry, physics, or any other scientific discipline, there is always something new and interesting to discover. Finally, Scratch is a fascinating programming language because it allows users to create interactive stories, games, and animations by dragging and dropping code blocks. It’s a great way to introduce kids to programming concepts in a fun and engaging way, and it also allows for creativity and experimentation. With Scratch, users can bring their ideas to life and share them with a community of like-minded creators. It’s no wonder that Scratch has become such a popular tool for learning and expression. 

I also enjoyed learning about my tablemates, Noah, Ebrar, Jennie, Nina, and Suhana. We each shared three sections. Ebrar likes cats because they are soft and fluffy, and she says they are adorable. Jennie enjoys playing violin, and she likes the music too. She used to play piano but the violin’s notes are easier. She also likes reading because it is entertaining, fun, and healthy for your brain. Lastly, she is proud of her Chinese culture. For Noah, he likes Tennis. Noah likes tennis because there are so many role models to look up to that blow him away, it is his best sport, and he loves watching it. He also likes his camp, Chenawanda, because it is his happy place and he would do anything to stay there a little longer. Another reason why he likes it is because all his friends go there and each year he makes new ones. Lastly, Noah loves hip-hop because there are so many artists and he likes the music.

In conclusion, creating an identity map can be a helpful tool for exploring and understanding the different aspects of yourself. By mapping out our values, beliefs, experiences, and relationships, we can gain a clearer sense of who we are and what is important to us. Would you like to make an identity map? If so, what would you put on it? What would you do? What is really important, is to have fun!
