This lesson will begin to explore the idea that identity is complex, that it has many layers to it and each person’s identity is a huge part of who they are and what is important to them.

Identity Primary 2.Visible and Invisible Identity

(0)
In the last lesson students explored the concept of identity and explored what the word itself means. They learnt about where people might get their identities from and how they are formed. This lesson will begin to explore the idea that identity has more layers to it. Students will learn that there are parts of our identity that are visible to others and parts that are invisible, either because we don’t choose to share them or as simple as they can’t be seen by others. This is where assumptions are often made of people, often based on what we can see by looking at others. It is only by getting to know ourselves well that we can also begin to understand and want to learn more about others. Through the metaphor of a backpack, which the film highlights, this lesson will explore visible and invisible identity.
