Using the readings and videos in this unit, please evaluate the ways in which adolescents’ emerging, shifting, and intersecting identities might impact their mental health, psychosocial functioning, and academic motivation and achievement. Provide a critical evaluation of the multiple identities in which adolescents are exploring (e.g., ethnic identity, gender identity, etc.) by making connections with your identity exploration during adolescence.   You will then pose a thought question in which your peers will respond (e.g., how can educators help students to develop healthy identities or a healthy academic identity?).  Your thought question should not simply elicit a yes/no response, but rather a more detailed response from your peers. To generate a good discussion, your questions should start with the words: ‘what,’ ‘why,’ and ‘how.’
