Foot Print Introduction

The footprint project was to introduce ourselves to our classmates so we could get to know each other. The footprint had to have three kinds of media on it that described us and what we really liked. The whole footprint was supposed to be covered in things that described us.

Included in my footprint was sports balls. I am always playing a sport. I am currently playing football for Northern, however, when it is our offseason for football I am playing in a couple of basketball leagues and a couple of softball leagues in the summer. Also in my free time during the summer I like to go out in golf. The tractor represents how I grew up on a farm and kind of want to go back and farm when I am done with college. The N is for Northern where I am going to school and playing football. The apple represents me wanting to become a teacher. The helmet represents that I am playing college football and how much I love to play the sport. The background is supposed to be a football field. I made it into a football field because most of my time is spent doing stuff for football whether it is meetings, lifting, or practice, I am always busy with something football related.

This project was fun to do and fun to see what everyone else had on their footprint. This is a great way to get to know everyone in your classroom. An extension activity for this would be a good transition into famous people. You could tell them this footprint represents what you like and what you left behind for other people to know about you and then go on to talk about what some famous people left behind and what we know about them today. A good one to talk about would be Martin Luther King Jr.
