Identity
GRADE LEVELS 3-12
Personal identity can be perplexing to understand for many of us. We wonder how we become the people we are and wonder about the role our families and others play in shaping it. These readings allow students to explore the concept of identity through a variety of lenses and reflect on their own identity formation, exploring important questions about the impact of how we define ourselves and others.
