Self-Image Final Project

On Tuesday, students were given the first part of their final project for the self-image unit.  This first part is a synthesis of all our learning from the unit.  Students are asked to respond to two questions and to fill out two paragraph outlines (one for each response).  The examples from which students can draw to fill out these outlines are as follows:

• article on plastic surgery and teens
• article on steroids 
• documentary clip "The Man Whose Arms Exploded"
• Chapter One from Skin ( novel about anorexia)
• internet information package about eating disorders
• Intervention - TV show about "Cassandra"
• magazine article on reality TV and teens
• magazine article on teens and smoking
• movie "The Fighter"

Today, students were given the second part to the assignment: a creative exploration of your own self-image.  Students are being asked to create a final piece which represents how they see themselves and where their own self-image comes from.  

Details of this assignment, plus a link to blank paragraph outline forms can be found in the link at the side.
