​
This unit was a co-created by Stephanie Chin, Jamile Elrafih, Ysabel Fernandez, Nicole Grenon and Wendy Tran.
The driving question, “What Shapes your Identity?” gives students the opportunity to explore the various factors that impact who they are. In this performance task students will create three self- portraits. Each portrait reflects a different perception of identity: genetic or physical expression, the way others see you, and the expression of one’s inner self. While the science discipline focuses on physical traits, the emotional, mental, and spiritual elements that are embedded within Indigenous Ways of Knowing, can be woven into the expression of one’s inner being, creating a holistic image of self.
