Identity

 

Identity

In your groups, talk about identity. At your age, much of your identity has been inherited.

Did your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents:

Go to a school building Monday to Friday?

Speak the same language and dialect as you?

Wear the same style of clothes?

Worship the same religion?

Live in Winnipeg?

Other differences/similarities?

As you get older, what parts of your identity do you hope to keep the same/change?

  2. My protagonist is a boy originally named Kii Yazhi but in boarding school he was given the name Ned Begay. He never fully stopped speaking his native language, Navajo, but spoke it in private with his classmates. He excelled in his classes and gained favor with his teachers. after high school he gets sent off to war to help develop the secret code. Personally, I have very little in common with Ned Begay. I think I'll consider myself fairly lucky on that note.
    We both speak English, we both went to school.
    I was never sent to boarding school, and I have no indigenous heritage.
