🤔 Who are you?
🤔 What is identity and how is your identity created?
🤔 How do we learn, and why should we read books to learn more about ourselves and the world?
🤔 How did English develop into a global language?
In the first weeks of this school year, we have spent time getting to know each other. We have introduced ourselves several times, perhaps you have written about yourself to your teachers. On numerous occasions you have had to bring your ID card, which gives information about who you are. But your identity is much more than your name, date of birth, and a photo of you. Your identity is made up of many different factors. If we look up what identity means, we find the following definitions:
📚 «The distinguishing character or personality of an individual» (Merriam-Webster, n.d.)
📚«Identity is the qualities, beliefs, personality traits, appearance, and/or expressions that characterize a person or a group» (Wikipedia, 2023)
