Abstract
This article illustrates how students' ‘funds of identity’ can be used pedagogically to enrich the ‘funds of knowledge’ approach. The concept ‘funds of identity’ emphasizes students' interests through the incorporation of their creative works within the pedagogical space conducted by the teacher. Students invest their identities in the creation of some artifacts, which become educational resources used by teachers in class to affirm students' identities and foster their academic development. The paper shows how a teaching unit using the funds of identity approach is created and discusses about the significance of working through study groups for teacher development.
