Problem
Using the readings and videos in this unit, please evaluate how 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 adolescents are exploring (e.g., ethnic identity, gender identity, etc.) by connecting with your identity exploration during adolescence. You will then pose a thought question to 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 a more detailed response from your peers. To generate a good discussion, your questions should start with the words: 'what,' 'why,' and 'how.'
