Lesson overview:
In this lesson, students will analyse and compare different biographical texts, focusing on how language, tone, and style are used to present someone’s identity, skills, and achievements. They will practise paraphrasing techniques to vary descriptions of people, experiment with different levels of formality and creativity, and reflect on the effect of vagueness versus directness. Through guided discussion and writing tasks, students will apply these strategies to draft their own short bios.
