Let’s discuss

• Why could you describe more things in the adults?• What helped you describe the babies? • What changes as they grow up?• What things stay the same?• Does one baby or adult deserve to be treated differently to others?

Identities – who you are

• Identities are a set of characteristics that define a person or a thing.• Your identity is ‘who you are’. • We are born with some of the things that make us ‘who we are’ e.g.

eye colour, race, gender etc. Others things develop and change over time e.g. personality, interests, beliefs etc.

• Today’s learning outcomes:– Understand that identities are made up of different

characteristics. – Be aware that our identities have many things in common, but

differences too. – Be able to describe your own individual identity.

Identities

• Identities are made up of lot’s of different characteristics and multiple layers i.e. religion, nationality, gender etc.

• There are lot’s of things that make us who we are! • We are born with some of these things, but others develop over

time.• Is it fair to treat people unfairly just because of who they are e.g.

black, white, gay, disabled, short, tall etc?

Different or the same?

• It is always important to get to know people. • We can always find things we share in common. Often our first

impressions are wrong. • Whilst we share lots of characteristics in common, we should all be

proud of our own unique identities. • Our differences make us unique and special!
