Pre-Teach: Asking Questions
· Teacher demonstrates an example with his/her 3 ‘facts’
· Students ask questions to figure out the false fact (review correct question form here)
Prep Activity
· Walk around the room helping students create correct sentences
Activity (15-20 minutes)
· Break larger classes up into more manageable groups (of 5-10) and do the activity.
Pro Tips:
· Set a timer or a set number of questions for each person's turn. (around 4-6 min each)
· Don't drag it out too long; the students will start to get restless.
- Remind the students to continue lying when their classmates ask them about the false facts.
