“Addressing a very critical question for adolescents in the process of forming their identity, our project will focus on the question "Who am I and where does my identity come from?" Through reading, discussion, writing, role playing, physical fitness, and art, students will understand what factors influence their identity and how their identities inform their values, ideas, and actions. Once our students better understand their own identities, they will be better equipped to understand and manage their emotional needs, show empathy for others, and have the ability to establish and maintain positive relationships with their peers, parents, and teachers.”
