1) to practice writing skills 

2) to practice 21st-century skills

3) to go the extra mile 

STEP 1 

Think about all your strengths, weaknesses, talents, successes, failures,  interests and passions. Check out the visual notes you created in lesson 1&2. Choose one of the following options: 

OPTION 1  - Create a book about yourself and the way you would like to be in the world. How would you like other people to see you? Write an autobiography. 

OPTION 2  - With a partner, imagine one of you became a famous person like a sports champion, politician, advocate for climate, or someone along those lines. Jointly write this person's biography.

OPTION 3  - With a partner,  create a fictional celebrity, someone who is a bit like one of you (or both ;), or maybe the complete opposite. Give him/her a name and follow the same procedure of creating a biography.  

Go the EXTRA INTERCULTURAL MILE and check out the possible perceptions of this celebrity in different settings (for example, Hollywood vs. Bollywood, European vs. Asian perspective on beauty, or something similar you both agree on.)

STEP 2

The biography can be a digital book, a paper book, a slide show, a cartoon, a poster, a comic book, a film, an animation, a vlog.

Some suggestions: 

• https://bookcreator.com/ 

• Canva (presentations, films, posters etc) 

• Cartoon and comic maker: www.toonytool.com 

You can use whatever tool that best fits your format. Make sure you can generate a link that you will share to show your book to other students. 

ALERT: If you choose to work in a pair, choose a shareable tool to ensure your creation is editable by both of you. 

STEP 3

Share the link to your book in this PADLET. Read two other books and comment on them as if you were a big fan. Tell them why you are a fan and why you admire them. Remember - you made it for fun but also to practice your English so maybe try to go outside your comfort zone and say something you have never said before!

In the book, tell the readers: 

• who you are / who the fictional celebrity is

• what made you who you are / them famous

• what your/their story is 

• which of your/their character traits, talents, and passions brought you to this exciting point

The biography should include: 

• photos and captions from interesting moments in your life

• information about hobbies and interests

• family situation 

• friends and relationships 

• strengths and achievements

• the journey towards fame 

• future plans and ambitions

Also: 

• Give your book a catchy title

• Edit it and decorate/illustrate it so to match the content 

• Add the first page and put in a list of contents with page numbers
