Summative Identity Task 2011 Visual and Oral Presentation
HOW DO WRITER’S CREATE CHARACTERS IDENTITES THAT WE CAN IDENTIFY AND RELATE TO?
“Our identities are formed in a variety of ways, including our family, our opportunities, our choices and our hopes and our dreams.” unknown
Looking back at all the poems, short stories, articles,movie and discussions we have studied in this unit, your task is to think about the ideas and implications connected to the above statement.
v Select ten (10) powerful quotes or passages from any of the works we have studied.
PART 1- THE VISUAL (THIS CAN BE DONE WITH A PARTNER)
Create a visual, a photo essay, a movie, a graphic, a tableau, a skit, a mind map or some other sort of medium, to visually express/ explain/show:
1. How have the writer’s enabled you to identify with certain characters thoughts, feelings, actions values etc.
2. As you read the poems and stories, what images came to your mind and what quotes did you connect to those images as we looked into “IDENTITIES”.
3. Your visual will have images and quotes on it.
PART 2- THE WRITE UP (THIS MUST BE DONE INDIVIDUALLY)
You will prepare an individual write up which explains your choice of images and quotes.
Select seven (7) of the quotes and:
1. You will explain how the quote you chose helped you better understand the characters identity and why you selected that image to go with that quote. What does that image represent for you and how did the author help reveal the characters identity by using those words etc. Please explain (How/why is it connected to identity for you?)
2., Selecting the Essential Question you feel connects best with your visual write an overall statement that explains why and how it connects. Back it up with text support and make sure you explain your reasons. If you want to use more than one EQ go ahead.

Notes for Thursday Oct 20th
When you write about identity think about the following:
Your first paragraph should include what is identity and what influences identity(very generally)
Give a brief background statement as to how these stories etc are connected to identity.
Then you will want to transition to your next paragraph.
Over several paragraphs write about what authors do to make characters relatable.
What do authors do to create characters identity that you can identify with?
How do you see, feel, their identity? What makes them seem real?
How have the characters been shaped so you ”feel” for them?
As you write you need to bring in specific evidence from the text to support and explain what you are trying to say. To do this you bring in quotes/ examples.
Point
Evidence
Explain
Remember everyone always has to PEE.
After you have done that you want to conclude your writing. You sum up the factors that help make them real and you connect back to your intro.
