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 young people.

Evidence and reflection

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

Follow-up

The activity, as well as giving you insights into your students, 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.
