Abstract	To celebrate a milestone in eighth-graders' lives--leaving middle school and moving on to high school--the author assigns them the "Coming of Age" project, which examines the big idea of identity and promotes the move from self-reflection to self-expression. The project also includes writing components that correspond to each of the nine assignments. Reference materials and resources are provided for students: examples that show the relationship between words and images, familiar sayings, proverbs, and words of wisdom, decorative fonts for lettering and designs, a list of descriptive words, and assorted comic books featuring superheroes. In this article, the author presents the steps for the booklet preparation and the 9 student assignments. (ERIC).
