I have to do oral presentation tomorrow representing who I am.

i have to bring in 4 things or 4 words to class. The first thing has to be something that represents me, the second thing has to be something that represents my family. the third thing has to be something that represents my peers. the 4th thing has to be something that represents my cultural heritage.

i am punjabi so something that represents me i think would be my braid. I don't know what else would represent me besides my colour and hair. Also if the teacher asks questions as to why Ive kept my hair long in a braid, its really hard to explain why, i guess i just believe that its considered appropriate in my culture or something. Is that too brief?

Something that represents my family ? not sure about this one, we all watch tv together, but i don't know if that's a representation. we also believe in god a lot, but i don't know what to bring for that, or what word I could use.

Something that represents my peers? not sure, I talk with them on the phone alot, so would phone be the word?

Something that represents my cultural heritage? i could mention about my temple, there are also a lot of celebrations, maybe i could mention one of them? i think there are a lot for this one.

Your ideas are excellent.

You might use a photo of your family. Perhaps you could take a picture of everyone watching TV together.

It's great that you're thinking about representing different aspects of yourself, your family, your peers, and your cultural heritage for your oral presentation. Here are some suggestions for each category:

1. Representation of Yourself: Your braid is indeed a good representation, as it signifies your Punjabi cultural heritage. You could also consider including something that represents your personal interests or hobbies. For example, if you're passionate about music, you could bring a musical instrument or a favorite song that represents your taste.

2. Representation of Your Family: Watching TV together can be one way your family bonds, so it could be a valid representation. You could bring a small TV remote or a picture of your family watching TV, or even a movie ticket to symbolize family movie nights. If religion is important to your family, consider bringing a religious symbol or item that represents your faith.

3. Representation of Your Peers: While phones play a significant role in communication with peers, it might be more effective to choose an object that represents a common interest or activity among your peers. For example, if your peers are into sports, you could bring a sports-related item or a picture of you playing a sport together.

4. Representation of Your Cultural Heritage: Mentioning your temple or a specific celebration is a great idea. You could bring a picture, a small figurine or artifact related to your cultural heritage, or even a traditional item representative of a significant celebration or event. This will help showcase the richness of your culture.

When explaining your choices in your presentation, try to go beyond just the item itself. Explain why each item is meaningful to you, your family, your peers, or your cultural heritage. This will provide a more insightful and engaging presentation.
