Having students complete self-portraits is a great way to start and end the year, reflect on what students are learning about themselves, and use it in writing assignments. Use our collection of printable patterned paper templates throughout the year for crafts, reading, and more.
Here’s what’s included in the bundle:
Before And After Selfie Photos
Ask students to draw a picture of themselves at the beginning and end of the year. Their final writing assignment can be a reflection of how they and their self-images have developed and changed. Or write each student a note at the beginning and end of the year and give them their pictures and notes together on the last day of school.
Self-Portrait as Art
If you’re studying artists, from Picasso to Monet, use these self-portrait paper templates as a base for students to create self-portraits inspired by great artists.
Famous Faces
As students learn about historical figures, students can write a biography of the first famous person and use the frame to draw a historical picture.
An autobiography
Use this template for students to draw a self-portrait and write an autobiography about themselves. Autobiographies are great to share with parents during parent-teacher conferences.
All About Me
This prompt for students to add information about themselves is a great way to start the year or start over after a break. Students can fill one out for themselves, or they can use the template to discuss and introduce their classmates.
