Final English 10-2/CALM Assignment

Profile of Yourself
Name: _____________

At the beginning of the semester, I asked you to write a Bio-Poem as a way for you to introduce yourself to me.
Now, as we reach the conclusion of the semester, I ask that you revisit those ideas about yourself. What things
have changed? What things have stayed the same?
I hope our study of identity has allowed you to look at yourself in new ways such as who inspires you to take
risks and overcome obstacles, how your family influences you, and how you judge others and others judge you.
Please take these thematic questions, and the texts we have studied, into account as you create your profile.
