Layered Identity

This personal narrative reading worksheet invites students to explore cultural identity and language through an excerpt titled “Between Two Languages.” Learners analyze how the narrator describes experiences of bilingualism, belonging, and self-discovery. They examine contrasts between home and school life, interpret metaphors about translation and bridges, and reflect on how the narrator’s understanding of identity evolves over time. The activity promotes close reading, empathy, and reflective writing by encouraging students to connect the narrator’s experiences to their own strategies and challenges as readers.
