Engage your students in deep self-reflection and critical thinking with this interactive mini-unit on identity! Designed to help students explore the three key aspects of identity—how they see themselves, how others see them, and how they want to be seen—this resource bundle provides everything you need to guide meaningful discussions and creative expression.

This 2-in-1 resource includes:

✅ Interactive Introduction to Identity Lesson – A 37-slide PowerPoint filled with discussion prompts, critical thinking questions, and engaging activities that help students define and explore identity in a personal and societal context. Includes a brainstorming worksheet and supplemental lists of identity traits with definitions to support student understanding.

✅ Identity Puzzle Piece Assignment – A hands-on activity where students apply their learning by designing a puzzle piece representing their personal identity. Once completed, all pieces come together to form a class identity mosaic, reinforcing the idea that identity is both individual and communal. Includes a detailed assignment sheet, rubric, and curriculum expectations for easy evaluation.

This mini-unit is perfect for courses exploring identity, Indigenous Studies, Social Justice, and English and aligns with Ontario’s NBE3E, NBE3C, and NBE3U curricula.

Save time, spark meaningful discussions, and foster student self-awareness with this ready-to-use identity mini-unit!
