• Then they must put them in order, most important to least important.

Preparation before Main Task:

Students pick 1-5 of their characteristics.

Main Task:

Students draw things about themselves around the 1-5 words that they have chosen. They could hide the words, or they could have the words as a main structure with the pictures around it.
