Production

Although this learning object is easy for students to explore for themselves, you will still need to make your expectations clear so that they do not simply bypass the Indonesian language and head straight to the collage maker!

Remind students that the purpose of using this learning object is to better understand personal identity and how it relates to culture - what type of people we are and how we become that way.

Share and display the focus questions for Siapa saya? (in Word or PDF). These are directly related to the understanding goals in the Reflection section.

If you have access to a data show, model for students entering the learning object and using the word help provided, English information, cues in the images and their literacy skills to work out the meaning. Although students can have dictionaries, they do not need to work out the meaning for every single word.

Go through the questions in the notebook (Buku catatan) on the question sheet (in Word or PDF). The questions in the notebook can be supplemented by asking students to reflect on, and compare, their lives (bedroom, school experiences, hobbies etcetera) with that of Ketut. Model the process of adding ideas and information into the notebook, and also of adding extra reflections onto the question sheet.

Although there are quite detailed instructions available for the identity machine / collage maker, students can probably discover most things by exploration. Challenge students to think of all the ways that the importance of something could be indicated in their collage. (This could include making it larger, more central, having more of that thing, changing colour, using language.)

The addition of Indonesian can be as whole sentences, phrases or words. These can also be coloured, moved and the size changed.

When students are finished a collage, print it out in colour if possible;or use 'print screen' on your computer to capture an image of the collage. Ask students to explain their collage orally or in writing. There are reflection questions in the learning object to help with this. These explanations are useful for assessment but also should be displayed with the collages, allowing for comparison of collages about Ketut.

Display and compare the collages. Consider questions such as:

Can you 'read' the collages to identify aspects of that person's personal identity? Can you see evidence of their culture?

Which collages work most successfully? Why?

The script for Siapa saya?  is available in the Resources section. It could be used to make other language activities for students.

See the Assessment section for assessment of students' collages.
