Identity Map Exploration

Identity is the mix of things that shape how we see ourselves and connect with others. You choose what to share: you may write about yourself, invent a character, or skip any detail that feels private. There are no right or wrong personal answers.

A story to explore

At low tide, Matilda, Tahnee and Mei explore rock pools together. Matilda loves sketching the shapes of shells. Tahnee enjoys asking questions about the animals and cares about protecting the coast. Mei is learning family stories and likes sharing food traditions with friends. They all enjoy the ocean, but each brings different interests, experiences and values. They listen to one another and discover that people can belong to a group while still being themselves.

1.Choose the best explanation of identity.

Only the things a person is good at
A mix of influences, experiences and qualities that help make someone who they are
A label that never changes
The same thing as being popular

2.Which details in the story could influence the friends’ identities? Select all that apply.

Their interests
Their values
Their experiences and family stories
The fact that they are exactly alike
The places and people they connect with

3.Because the three friends enjoy exploring the ocean, they must all have the same identity.

TrueFalse

4.Match each story detail to the identity influence it best shows.

Matilda sketches shells
Tahnee wants to protect the coast
Mei is learning family stories

Family and heritage
Interest or hobby
Value

5.Tahnee and Matilda both care about the rock pools, but show it in different ways. Describe one way each friend shows they care.

Build an identity map

Make a map about yourself or an invented character. Put a name or symbol in the centre. Add branches for interests, values, people or communities, places, experiences, and hopes. Share only details that feel comfortable.

Draw or write your map. Add at least four branches. You can use words, symbols or sketches.

6.Choose two branches from your map. Explain how they connect or influence one another.

7.True or false: A person’s identity can develop as they have new experiences, while some parts may stay important to them.

TrueFalse

8.A friend’s identity map includes something unfamiliar to you. Write one respectful question you could ask, or explain how you could show respect without asking.

9.Name one strength or quality that can help someone feel confident in who they are. Explain how it might help.
