Self Concept Assignment

 

 

Who are you? What makes you smile? Where do you go and what do you do? There is an old expression that says “we all wear many different hats” this saying refers to the many ways we present ourselves in the world. Everyone is multidimensional. For example you are not just a student in my class, you are also a daughter or son, a friend, a sibling, a co-worker, etc. Take some time to think of the many different “hats” you wear and create an actual hat that can give us a glimpse of your Self Concept.

 

Design a hat that represents your Self Concept. This hat can be made out of any thing, (e.g. paper, fabric, felt or an existing prefabricated hat). There are no limitations on size, color, or shape of the hat; so be creative and have fun. As a guide please read the questions on the bottom of this page. Use creativity to help you answer some of the questions when decorating your hat. You will present your hat in a 2 to 3 minute presentation focusing on three aspects of your life. (In other words the hat may show 20 sides of your persona but you will focus on only three of them for the verbal portion of the presentation.)
