Intersectionality refers to how we can better understand each person’s lived experiences in the world by examining how the different parts of their identity interact (Crenshaw) . The idea of intersectionality helps students think about which aspects of their identity feel the most defining, how those aspects relate to each other, and how to convey this to their audience. In this essay, students focus on five parts, or facets, of their identity, relying on their own unique voice and experiences.  \nIn their photo essays, students include a title, introduction section, each facet oftheir identity represented by a photo (may be a photo of their own or a stock photo) and written explanation, before they wrap up their essay with a concluding section.  \nIn the written explanation for each facet, students address the following: Why is this facet an important, defining part of yourself? How does it relate to, or intersect with, other parts of your identity? How does it relate to the larger society in which you live? Consider connections to communities, culture, background, and privilege.  \nStudents should choose the facets that feel most defining at this point in their lives, such as gender identity, racial group, religion, socioeconomic class, sexual orientation, nationality, ethnicity, culture, ability/disability, language, hobbies, fandoms, family, etc. Since students are discussing their own identities, this assignment provides a venue to discuss the importance of linguistic diversity and validating students’ own voices in telling their stories (Baker-Bell) .  \nAlthough this essay is primarily in the genre of memoir writing, students will also find it necessary to bring in conventions of descriptive writing, definition writing, and narratives as they explain their facets and illustrate them with moments, memories, and anecdotes in this multimodal, hybrid assignment.  \nTime Commitment 3-4 weeks  \nMaterials  \nStudents can use any platform as long as it incorporates both text and photos and the final product is shareable and accessible. Platform options include Wakelet, Adobe Creative Cloud Express, Canva, Google Sites, Wix, or Wordpress.  \nAssignment Process  \n▪ Students will first be introduced to the basic conventions of writing within the genres of memoir, descriptive, definition, and narrative compositions. Students use memoir conventions like reflection to focus on writing about their lives, narrative conventions to hone skills in storytelling as they bring in memories and experien","cbCaibSNPDvoJAtc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibSNPDvoJAtc","pdf",789483,6,"English","# Overview\n## What the assignment asks students to do\n## Key writing prompts for each identity facet\n# Time Commitment and Materials\n## Time commitment\n## Platform/material options\n# Assignment Process\n## Genre conventions and instructional readings\n## Prewriting, drafting, peer review, and revision\n# Learning Outcomes","[{\"question\":\"What is the main goal of the Intersectional Identity Photo Essay?\",\"answer\":\"Students craft a photo essay about their identity, strengthening writing skills and developing voice, tone, and style.
