Who am I? Poster

INTRODUCTION

The following activity is a self examination and exploration that will end with each person developing a POSTER of himself / herself on Adobe Photoshop OR Comic Life showing "My Many Faces". We all portray ourselves differently in different situations, and with different people; this poster attempts to open our eyes to who you really are.

Step 1: ANSWERING THE QUESTION: WHO AM I?

There are two accompanying surveys that you must complete before you begin your poster. You might find that the person you think you portray might be very different to different people. The handouts are: a) External evaluations (you will need a minimum of 4 + your own) b) Self - Reflection

Be open minded about the data you collect AND be honest with the people you are evaluating. You might not agree with what people think about you, but their view must be considered and analyzed.

Step 2: COLLECTING POSTER INFORMATION SHOWING: MY MANY FACES

Based on Step 1, you will need to begin collecting pictures, images, symbols, words, and quotes that you think answer the question: Who am I? We need images that will express who you are as a whole person, not just as "John the student", or "Julie the athlete", but a mix of everything. Step 3: CREATING THE POSTER / PANEL

Your poster or panel will reflect who you are... pay attention to organization of images, use of colour (or shades of light and dark) and words / phrases.

Step 4: THE PRODUCTION & DISPLAY

Posters will be sent to the printer, and cost $3.00 each. They will then be displayed in the Display Case at school.
