Social Identity and Education - " Time For School" PBS Documentary -DUE on 10/7

In your NOTEBOOK 2 Paragraphs


Define social identity as it relates to your life. What does it mean to have an external/social understanding of yourself? 

What does it mean to become educated? Has education or going to school ever become a dominant influence in your life? If so how? If not, why do you suppose it has never become a part of your identity? Do you believe that education/knowledge can dictate how a person perceives themselves/ others? 






Identity – How do I see myself? How do others see me?

Words that come to mind????  Create a T-Chart  Provide at least 5 words for each.
