Name
Autobiography Cover
Who
In-person meetings, online or concurrent classes (preferably with no more than 15-20 people)
Duration
10-20 Minutes
Directions
Ask participants to create a cover of their autobiography. The cover must include a title and at least one image. Remind everyone that we’re not here to “judge a book by its cover”. This is a safe space and all creations are welcomed. Give participants time to think, reflect and create. About 10 minutes for creation will suffice. Then depending on time, ask only a few volunteers or everyone to debrief. We recommend the facilitator also participate and sharing their cover.
Adaptions/Tips
- For in-person, give in-person participants a piece of paper and pencils. Color is optional.
- For online, share to Lucidchart or assign sections on a collaborative Zoom whiteboard. If you’re asking for a debrief, enable the participants screen-sharing feature.
- You could also invite participants to find paper and pencil and physically draw.
- The prompt can be changed to anything reflective. The goal is to be open-ended and let others get to know you. For example:
- Favorite place in the world.
- Biggest role model.
- Dream career.
