Adolescence

• According to Erikson, the primary task of adolescence is to determine who you are.– Teens develop sense of

self and goals– Never resolved “once and

for all”– Revisited during life

transitions (graduation, job, marriage, parenthood, retirement).

• So, who are you?

Show me!

• Create a two-sided image (front and back of a sheet of paper), two slide powerpoint, or split Glogster that represents one of the following: – Two well defined sides of

your personality– How you see yourself vs.

how others (friends/parents) see you

– Who you think you are vs. who you want to be

• Ideas: – Images– Quotes– Lyrics– Favorite artists– Family photos– Your own writing– Personal stories (short)– Pretty much anything
