Me Map

Your assignment is to complete a Me Map of yourself.  You may use this to introduce yourself to your internship students and teach them about character traits at the same time. This first draft will be geared toward 3rd-5th graders. You need to include illustrations, photographs, or any artistic impressions of you. Your first draft will be word processed and will be posted to your blog as your "About Me" page. Under each category, you will include at least four descriptions along with the explanations. For example, if  you describe yourself as acting  enthusiastic, explain when or how you act enthusiastic. You may also wish to include other graphics and pictures for each category. Please incorporate descriptive phrases and characteristics. Please refer to the "Character Traits Descriptive Adjectives" link to help you describe your personality or how you act. You will also need to include at least one simile under the category "What I Look Like." Be sure to check out our link on color, sound, movement and "said" words.

 

Your Me Map should include the following categories:  

  • What I Like                             

  • What I Dislike

  • What I Look Like 

  • How I Act (Personality)

  • What You Should Know About Me
