These four classroom activities prompt students to think about their own identity, their current state of mind, their purpose, their place at Hunter and in NYC. Students are asked to illustrate their thoughts by filling in shapes/drawings, using color, symbols or words. In one of the activities, they complete a template for a short poem.

This project converted one of the main essays into a semester-long project in which the students examined their responses to readings and writing exercises.
Utilizing the course texts and the scholarly personal narrative format, students investigate the ways in which their identities shift consciously and unconsciously.
Students in my SPAN 105 course write, research, and conduct interviews to learn about their own families' experience in the US. Their final project consists of a written essay that combines the material we learned in class, with a reflection of their own identities as Latinx living in the US.
