Lesson Plan

Identity Map Lesson Plan

Students will create an identity map with four dimensions—strengths, values, interests, cultures—and explain one way a label has impacted them through reflection.

By exploring multiple facets of their identity and examining labels, students build self-awareness, empathy, and confidence, and learn to challenge bias in themselves and others.
