IDU: My identity in a suitcase

"A creative composition can express messages related to personal and cultural identity"

Imagine...

 You are traveling to a country where nobody knows you and where they only speak the language you are learning at school. 

One way you could show them who you are could be to open a suitcase and pull out A WORK OF ART (an identity sculpture) that represent you, your most significant character traits and your personal preferences, while you explain each in either French, Spanish or German.

End products

• Video: create a 2-3 minutes long video in which you express your personal and cultural identity by using elements of the two subjects involved in this IDU.  Spanish/French or German AND Visual Arts.

• Report: write a report that is structured following certain criteria below. For each criteria you will get some guiding questions.

BOTH ARE EQUALLY IMPORTANT

Inquiry questions

Factual:
What forms of communication can be used to express different aspects of identity?

Conceptual:
How can I define identity?
How can I express my identity through visual arts?
How is art an expression of identity?

Debatable:

Do I need a cultural identity?

Interdisciplinary criteria

CRITERION A: EVALUATING

In short: Knowledge and skills from both disciplines

CRITERION B: SYNTHESIZING

In short: The product itself

CRITERION C: REFLECTING 

Explaining your new interdisciplinary understanding
