I. My Identity Bookself
Many books we read affect our lives, inspire us, and help shape our identities.
What are 8-12 books that you love and have helped shape your identity? Create a visual shelf of these books. Choose ones from different points in your life and from different genres, books that represent you. Think of this as your textual lineage, a history of books that have affected who you are today.
Questions to consider:
What books taught me valuable lessons and helped me better understand the world?
What books have important sentiments and memories associated with them?
What books do I want to take with me throughout my life?
What books have influenced and impacted my actions and character?
What books represent important aspects of my identity?
Task:
reflect on the questions and brainstorm in your notebook; do research to accurately note title and author
create an Identity Bookself using template provided , drawing your own version, or taking a photograph of the actual books
finish for homework
Write a 3-5 paragraph essay on how these books express who you are. You may choose to focus on 1 or more of the books. This is your first writing assignment which will be used as a benchmark to assess your reading and writing skills. Be sure to apply what you have learned in ELA in previous years. Be sure to plan and draft this assignment.
Format: typed, double-spaced, 12 pt font, a traditional font. Print and hand in; also, publish on your blog.

Find at least 1person you have a book in common with. Discuss why you chose the book and what it shows about you. Write the students’ names and what you have in common.
