WORKSHEET

IDENTITY THEFT

In their photographs, Claude Cahun and Cindy Sherman take on a variety of

personas, such as movie starlets, clowns, and sailors.

Brainstorm. Think about your identity. Write down five words you think best
describe yourself.

Mix it up. Ask a partner to pick three of the words and change them to the opposite
meaning. For example, if you wrote “shy,” your partner would change the word to
“outgoing."

Imagine. Using your list of five words, construct an alter ego for yourself. Consider
the following questions: What is this character’s name? Where is this person from?
What does he or she like to do?

Create. Share your alter ego with the world! Write, draw a picture, or make a collage
to communicate your new character’s story.
