All About Me

ALL ABOUT ME BROCHURE ! DUE:______

This project will form a percentage of your final mark. It will also be included in your summative project – the personal portfolio. It should take the form of a brochure – all about you! It will have three parts – described below. You may use photos and graphics to emphasize key aspects of the brochure (a picture of you on the front, for example) – get creative!

The project should include three distinct parts:

A. Introduction You can include any of the following, or anything else that is interesting:  your name and age  some biographical information such as information about your family, places where you have lived and/or traveled, your interests, hobbies, schools you have attended  preferences such as food, music, books, clothes, pets, sports  the type of people you like spending time with  issues you feel strongly about (environment, poverty …)  your heroes/mentors, people you look up to  any other details which help to define you as a person

B. The Body Here, you will use the information you have learned in class to describe yourself. Your writing should include evidence that supports your statements. The evidence could be results of your quizzes, statements made by other people, accomplishments or awards won, or milestones that you have reached.

(Example: One of my strengths is following through on a goal – I recently achieved my goal of training and running a 5K marathon).

Suggestions to include for the body of your brochure:  Goals (What are your short-term and long-term goals?)  Values (What are your values? How do you incorporate them in your life?)  Skills (What are you good at?)  Smarts (Where are you strongest/weakest in the multiple intelligences?)  Work Habits (What are you good at, what do you need to work on?)  Learning Styles (Left/Right Brain, Auditory/Visual/Kinesthetic)  Anything else about you that you have learned so far? C. The Conclusion/Reflection – sum it all up! What does all of this information say about you? Does it give you any idea about what sort of career you would be suited to? Why is it important to be self-aware and knowledgeable about who you are? Does this information give you something to work towards, to build on, and to benefit from? How will this information help you in the future?

D. Presentation After completing your brochure you will present it to the class. You will only be given 90 seconds so make sure to only include the most important information. You might want to prepare what you want to say as we all know that first impression are usually lasting ones. The presentation might be short but it should be professional and use should seems like you have a purpose. Think of it like the first practice interview.

Hints  Use colour, graphics and pictures to make your brochure creative!  Use headings to break down the introduction, body and conclusion  Pick an easy to read font  Keep your text the same size throughout, with the exception of headings – making the text smaller than 12 will allow you to fit a lot more!  Have fun!
