Abstract: This Teaching and Learning in Practice article describes a six-week "Wait-and-See Identity Project" conducted with multilingual learners ages 9-13. Integrating identity-based journaling and arts-based activities, this teacher-developed, teacher-led project invited students to explore and negotiate aspects of their identities while engaging in meaning-making around a shared novel. The project weaves together multimodality, student voice, and authentic literacy engagement.
