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 objects 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

 

When and where

Both formative and summative will be completed at the same time on the Thursday 9th March 8:30-12:30

Your video has to be completed before you write your report and uploaded on the 23rd of February.
 

All teachers involved in the IDU will be off meetings and lessons to assist and give feedback to students as they complete the report. 

Students upload their reports on that day to a google classroom.

REMEMBER THAT YOU NEED TO SHOW AND TALK ABOUT THE OBJECTS. IT IS NOT ONLY ABOUT WORDS, YOU CAN PLAY WITH THEM, WEAR THEM OR WHATEVER YOU WANT. HAVE FUN!

Wait!

You need a good closing phrase!

For example: 

Das ist alles. Danke, dass du zugeguckt hast.

Das war es. Danke und Auf Wiedersehen.

Und das bin ich. Bis bald.
