To explore one of the features of ‘growing up’

Aim

To explore one of the features of ‘growing up’: the multiple and sometimes contradictory expectations that different people have of children and young people.

Evidence and reflection

These issues can be explored through ‘picture maps’ about themselves. Pupils can draw or write about each perspective.

How my parent(s)How other membersHow my teachers
see meof my family see mesee me


MY OWN SENSE OF MYSELF


How my friendsHow the mediaHow my classmates
see mesees mesee me

Follow-up

The activity, as well as giving you insights into your pupils, may provide opportunities for discussion of how they could handle differing expectations of different people, and how it feels to feel uncertain of ‘who we are’. You may also be able to discuss who they wish to become … and are becoming.
