Hey everyone! While we are talking about identity and diving deeper into finding out who we are as individuals this idea came into my head. Jenna Marbles is a popular youtuber and created this video a couple months ago called Draw My Life. In this video she has a whiteboard and draws out significant moments that really have shaped her into becoming the person she is today. I think that this is a great idea that could possibly be for an assignment if we want students to reflect on who they are as an individual. The person who is drawing can tell their story the way they want to, which gives a sense of freedom in a way. If you haven't seen this video I highly suggest you watch it because it brings you through both happy and sad emotions. Let me know what you all think!
Heres the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCxzaHC30Ec

I'm a big fan of Jenna Marbles! I think she is witty and her videos are very funny. I hadn't see this particular video yet so this post got me interested. Surprisingly, this video of hers has a very different tone than the others. I actually feel like I know Jenna. This would be a great idea for an assignment! As educators, we want to know our students as more than another number or test score. We can understand where they come from and about some of their life experiences that make them the way they are. I also think it's good for anyone to just recall their life and the things they remember most and how they shaped their current life. I really like this! Thanks for sharing.
