About this worksheet
An identity web for fifth graders: a circle in the middle for a self-portrait, joined by dashed lines to eight boxes about the student, my family, where I come from, my languages, what I love to do, traditions, what matters to me, groups I belong to and who I want to become. The bottom box asks which part of their identity they are most proud of and why. A thoughtful start-of-year page for social-emotional learning and class discussions. It is made for fifth grade, ages 10 to 11: mostly writing and reflection, with little coloring, so it does not feel babyish.
Tips for using it
- Model it first: fill in a copy about yourself on the board or under the document camera, then hand out the sheets.
- For pre-K and kindergarten, read each prompt aloud and let children answer with a drawing; write their words under the drawing for them if they ask.
- Date every page and file it. A September page next to a June page shows growth in drawing and handwriting better than any report card.
- Print the pennant and the poster on card stock so they survive a few weeks on the wall.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). It is a vector file, so the lines stay sharp on any printer. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
