English Language Learners (ELLs) Investigate the Identity of Shakespeare and His Characters

Barbara Ann Prillaman

Published September 2008

Tools for this Unit:

Appendix B

Identity is about struggle

Identity is about grasping for a sense of who you are

In spite of the reflected mirrors of others

Through the shared experiences of others.

It's about being strong enough to decipher the riddle of right and wrong.

It's about knowing you're weak and knowing you can be strong.

It's about your words, actions, and reactions.

It's about the team you support

And what sport you play

The hobby which you do

The girl or boy you woo or go out with

The clothes you wear,

It's about heritage

Where you're born

Family trees

Respect and responsibility

Social norms

Out groups and in-groups

It can be about the colour of your skin

More often it's about the thoughts we have within the image inside and outside the bubble of who we are ingrained and contained in our soul!
