My Family Tree — Create a family tree, and include pictures and describe members of your family (pets too) and/or other people who are important to you.

My Heritage — Talk with family members or do library research and tell something of your family’s history — it can be where they’re from (provinces/countries), or an explanation of your ethnic background.

My Name — Research your name. What does it mean? Does the definition reflect any part of your personality? Discuss how your parents picked your name for you.

Who I Am — Describe how you see yourself. What kind of person are you? What do you know about yourself — what are your values? What are your strengths and why? What are your weaknesses and why?

My Favourite Things — List some of your passions. What are the activities, subjects, and areas you enjoy or in which you succeed? List your favourite types of music (or groups), television shows, movies, classes/school subjects, books/characters, interesting sports to watch/play, favourite foods, animals, celebrities, fashion items, etc.

Changing — Imagine that it is 10 years from today. Write a letter to a friend describing your life up to this point.
