Assignment: Autograph & VoiceThread
- Use the “Cultural Identity Autograph” to identity assumptions you make about your own and others’ cultural identities. Fill in the appropriate information for your own cultural identities.
- On a separate sheet, for the identities you consider your top 3-4 “shaping” identities, write one aspect of who you are today that was directly influenced by each. (For ex: Because I come from multiple generations of college-educated parents, I grew up valuing education enormously.)
- Create a VoiceThread that includes: who you are, what program you are in (what year), what readings you selected and why, your 3-4 shaping identities, and how you believe they have influenced who you are today. Please review and post 1-2 comments of your colleagues VoiceThreads. Instructions on how to create a VoiceThread.
- Please write 1-2 paragraphs in your journal regarding what you learned about your cultural identity. Be prepared to share this information Monday.
- Last, please fill out the feedback form: Reflections on Readings
