Who Am I Project



Who Am I Project

Option A: Choose five photographs that reveal different things about you. They could be old or recent or from different times in your life. Write a personal narrative to describe what each photograph says about you and the times of your life that each photograph represents. Take us down “memory lane” by telling us more about your life story.

Option B: Choose three of your favorite songs and find the lyrics to these songs. Write an essay that analyzes the lyrics, explaining how the lyrics speak to you or describe you. Include quotes from the songs to illustrate your points.

Option C: Choose three of your favorite television shows. Write a persuasive essay that will convince your audience why each show is wonderful and why they should also watch it.

Option D: Choose three of your favorite movies. Write a short review of each movie, giving a brief summary of the movie, and then explain why you give it 4 stars.

Option E: Write up a brief description of three of your favorite video or computer games. Your review should include enough information that your audience can get a grasp of the game, even if they are not gamers. You should also include why you find these games so enjoyable.

Option F: You may choose another option other than the five above after speaking with the teacher and obtaining approval. Your option must include a written component; be prepared to discuss what genre of writing you would like to do and what ideas you will write about.
