Abstract
This paper will report on an educational activity that was conducted with the aim of encouraging identity formation among international students and providing opportunities for them to consider how they should spend their time at university and what career path they should pursue. In this activity, a learner reads the Life Story of another person, draws an interpretation of the story on a Life-Line chart, and use the chart to explain the trajectory of the other person’s life. The results of this activity suggested that the charts drawn by the learners were diverse, and that this may reflect the trajectory of the reader’s own life.
