Rationale: Identity- Who Am I? 3 This unit is designed for an all-girls school located in Manhattan, New York. The girls in the class are juniors at an honors level. The students in this school all have their own personal laptops and bring them to school every day. Most everything that the teacher needs to make the unit work comes standard in the classroom (DVD player, projection screen, internet access, etc. Copies are easily accessible). In today’s world, it is becoming increasingly difficult for our youth to have a solid idea of who they are. “I’m a singer” or “I’m an athlete” doesn’t give any indication of what makes that person tick; thoughts, feelings, beliefs, self-image, etc. In high school, there are so many different groups and cliques that students feel they need to identify with one or they won’t fit in. There are students who identify with a handful of different groups and end up losing themselves altogether. Chances are, when you ask a high school student “Who are you?,” they wouldn’t know the first place to start with an answer. This unit encourages the students to look inside of themselves to find out who they really are. It can be argued that girls who come from a well-off family struggle just as much as girls who come from an underprivileged family. The girls in this school face pressure to succeed from their parents, community, and peers. They have to deal with the societal pressure and the expectation to make it in the world. In addition, these girls are held to a higher standard to always look and act “perfect” and be better than the common teenager. These girls rarely have the freedom to their own thoughts, feelings, wardrobe, and choices of extra-curricular activities and straying from their societal norm isn’t an option. Their lives are perfectly planned out for
