Digital Mask Reveal Activity: Bio Practice

Instructions:

You will receive two short bios about the same person.

Step 1 – Read Silently:

- Highlight or underline adjectives that describe the person’s personality or behavior.
Step 2 – Discuss in Pairs:
- With your partner, decide which bio is the real-life version and which is the online version.
- Give reasons for your choice. Use English!
- Use these phrases to help:
  - “I think Bio A is the real one because…”
  - “This one sounds more like an online identity because…”
Step 3 – Share with the Class:
- As a group, we’ll discuss your guesses.
- Were you surprised? Why or why not?
Reflection:
- “Do you think your own online identity is similar to your real-life self? Why or why not?”
