LL ED 400 & 401

This is my identity project. 

This is a collage that is meant to represent my future as a teacher. I have included cartoons from the book To Teach: The Journey in Comics by Bill Ayers because it is one of my favorite teaching books. Additionally, I have included several quotes about children, education, and teachers that I find to be meaningful. I have included a picture of my THON child, Abby, and me because she (and her siblings) are the most important kids in my life right now and I love them very much.

This is a collage that is meant to represent my childhood. In it I have included references to Harry Potter, Junie B. Jones, Amelia Earhart, Hercules, Molly Moon, Michael Jackson, and Eloise. These are just a few of the things I loved when I was a child.

We were asked to draw a picture in the way that we remember drawing when we were a child; I drew Ariel because my parents say I was always drawing pictures of characters from movies, TV shows, and books that I loved.
