Being that I am a brand new teacher to St. Elizabeth, I really wanted a lot of my first projects to help me get to know my new students. What better way to get to know them than an entire identity project. For this project the students and I first talked about how our fingerprints are part of our identity, which is why we use fingerprints for things such as crime scenes or, as many of my students said, to unlock our Iphones! We also talked about combining the identity of our fingerprints with things about us.
The students first studied their fingerprints and drew them. We then water colored them and created a list of twenty things about them. Seventh grade then wrote the things about them in their fingerprints and went over it in Sharpie. I encouraged students to add small images or change the sizing of their writing to make it more interesting.
