The footprint projects that we did were to introduce
ourselves to the class to get to know each other better and to start the class
off. On the footprint, we had to use at least three different types of media to
create things that represent us and describe us. The entire footprint was
supposed to be filled, so it was very cool to see what each person is like in
our class.
This project was very fun to do and it reminds me of all the
things that I love, my hobbies, and favorite foods! On my footprint, I included
a basketball as well as a #32 NSU jersey because I play basketball at Northern
and love that! I have two hearts on there to represent my love for my
family/friends as well as to represent Valentine’s Day/February because my
birthday is the day after Valentine’s Day. There is a cupcake and donuts on my
footprint because I love sweets and baking them! I put a “TC” logo for my
favorite team: the Minnesota Twins. There is also an airplane on my foot
because I love to travel and go on vacations. Finally, I put waves and a
swimsuit to represent my love for summer and going to the lake/beach. My
footprint describes me perfectly and I loved creating it!
This footprint introduction is something I will definitely
do in my classroom. It’s such a great way for people to get to know each other,
especially when they will be together for a whole year. An extension activity
for this would be to not only create your footprint of yourself but to write a
story in Language Arts to explain what is on your footprint, rather than just
saying it to the class; I think that would be fun, so students can describe
each element they included about themselves even further!
