Personal Identity

About this lesson

This unit focuses on the theme of personal identity, exploring what makes each person unique and how values, experiences, and self-discovery shape who we are. It includes reading texts about a boy named Ahmed who learns that his identity is about his inner self, not his looks, and a story about a girl named Nour who gains confidence by sharing her self-portrait in an Identity Map project. There is also a story about Zeina, a new student who proposes a school garden project, and a conversation between Hala and Omar about respecting personal identity. The unit also includes listening exercises about a teen named Leila discussing her personal journey and influences, and a text about Dr. Magdi Yacoub. Students practice speaking by discussing what makes them different and how to respect others' identities, and they learn to write a descriptive paragraph about the values that shape their identity. By the end of the unit, a student should be able to identify specific details in texts about personal identity, use related vocabulary, discuss personal uniqueness and respect for others, use the active and passive forms of the present perfect tense, and write a descriptive paragraph about how values shape identity.
