The beginning of a new school year always means the introduction of new subjects, teachers, and peers in my classroom. Although this experience certainly brings a refreshing change to my own education, it can also bring about worry because of not knowing what to expect. As a teacher and a student, I have found that one of the most beneficial ways to ease this transition from feeling like a visitor in the classroom to an actual member of the learning community is to present ‘All About Me’ projects.
If you’re a student in a classroom full of peers you don’t know very well or you’re an educator wanting to know more about the young minds you’ll be teaching, ‘All About Me’ projects are a great way to share information about ourselves. By using an iMovie, PowerPoint presentation, or simply giving students a questionnaire to share with their classmates, students and teachers alike can learn more about the personalities and interests that are held in their community of learning.
Consider the following questions when composing your own ‘All About Me’ project to share:
- What is your full name? How did your parents choose that name? What are your nicknames?
- How would you describe your family? Do you have any siblings? Pets?
- What is one tradition your family celebrates? Describe.
- What is one very special person you have in your life? Why are they an important part of your life?
- What are your hobbies?
- What are your hopes and dreams? What do you want to be when you grow up?
- What are 3 interesting facts about you?
- Do you have a favorite quote?
