My Reflections, Your Reflections

We have seen 4 different people who have made an impact on the world and examined their worlds. In a group come up with 10 reasons to answer each question. Prepare to Discuss.

How have the actions and lives of MLK and Charles Manson made you feel about the impact of other’s actions?

How have the written word of Maya Angelou and Dr. Seuss caused you to reflect on the power one person has?

My Reflections, Your Reflections

After taking the quizzes, which tell us about well, us we learned something about our identity.

But what do we have in common with the 4 people we examined just a minute ago? Can we change the world just as they have?

A survey was conducted to show how our personalities have an impact onthose around us. 4 people tested their individual emotions on 40 students.

So When do We know If we are Someone?

We know we are someone because we make our own choices. We control if we change the world, whether it’s a small impact or a large impact. We, as individuals change the world everyday.

Evaluate Ourselves

Through personal reflections and historical research we have found that everyone is different, but our individual identity adds to the world and we have the power to take our individual identity to become anything we want and to change the world!
