Unit Title: "My Possessions, Myself: Exploring Identity Through Material Connections"
What do your possessions say about who you are? In this thought-provoking unit, students will delve into Russell W. Belk's My Possessions, Myself, to uncover the complex relationship between material objects, identity, and society. Through rich discussions, creative projects, and analytical writing, students will explore how possessions can reflect, define, and even extend the self.
This unit challenges students to think critically about consumer culture, sentimental value, and societal trends such as minimalism and hyper-materialism. By comparing Belk's ideas with diverse cultural and philosophical perspectives, students will gain a deeper understanding of how personal and collective values shape our connection to material things.
As they reflect on their own possessions and identity, students will engage in meaningful conversations about sustainability, emotional attachment, and the role of possessions in modern life. By the end of the unit, they will be equipped to articulate their perspectives on what truly defines them - beyond the things they own.
Whether through collaborative projects, debates, or personal essays, this unit invites students to connect academic inquiry with real-world relevance, fostering both intellectual and personal growth.
