WHAT DOES IDENTITY MEAN?

• The dictionary definition of ‘identity’ is the fact of being who a person is and the characteristics that determine this.

WHAT MAKES UP YOUR IDENTITY?

Your identity is made up of lots of different things such as: • Where you were born • Places you have lived • Your hobbies and interests • Your family • Your favourite films/games/music • Your age

ALL of these things make up who you are and your identity

DO YOU THINK EVERYONE’S IDENTITY IS EXACTLY THE SAME?

DOES IT MATTER?

YOUR TASK I would like you to draw a big cauldron. This is going to act as a huge mixing pot for your identity.

In the cauldron you should write words and draw pictures that include some of the factors listed on the previous slide.

Feel free to add any other factors you can think of!

CHALLENGE

• Take a look at your cauldron and think about the factors which could change and which will stay the same. Do you think it is a bad thing if some of them change?

• If you have coloured highlighters you could use these to show the two categories.
