Let’s Look at Our Personalities and Values

This teacher-created project is a fun way for students to look at their personality and values. In this project, students use the concept of personality islands to define their core values. Here are some of the activities included in this project:

• Students think about where they find happiness and what is important to them. They then brainstorm ideas by listing their core values.
• They brainstorm four islands that reflect their core values and name each island.
• Students then write down three attractions, such as memories or artifacts they might find on each island.
• Student completes a flyer about their core value islands and future islands currently ‘under construction.’
• Reflections – Students then reflect on their project about what they liked about the project and what they would do differently.

This project is a great way to show students how to create a positive self-identity. This project is something that can be done over several lessons. Students can then present their personality islands to their classmates.
