All of Me

Social Studies/Reading/Language Arts

Students will draw pictures showing some of the different aspects of their lives, and share the pictures with classmates.

What You Need

What to Do

  1. Discuss with students the fact that they fill many different roles in their families. Point out that a girl may be a daughter, a sister, a niece, and a granddaughter, while a boy may be a son, a brother, a nephew, and a grandson. Ask students to tell about the different roles they fill in their families. Record their answers on the board or on chart paper. Then ask students to think about what roles they fill in the community. Point out that they are students, and ask them what else they do. For example, are they on a soccer or T-ball team? Add their responses to the list.
  2. Distribute copies of the All of Me sheet and have students draw pictures to show some of the different roles they fill in their lives (some students may need more than one sheet). For help in labeling their pictures, students can refer to the list created earlier.
  3. When students are finished, have them share their pictures with the class. You may want to mount the diagrams on an All About Me bulletin board.
