Lie to Your Students!



That's right. Lie to your students. Here is how it works. Take one minute in the beginning of class to tell your students that you will lie to them today. It is their job to find the lie and report it to the entire class during the next scheduled class. During the next class give students an opportunity (2 minutes) to report what the lie was and provide the accurate information. You may use your creative ability to come up with some rewards system to compensate the student(s) for finding and reporting on the lie. This can be used in any subject area with any group of students. Not only does this provide an opportunity for students to research beyond the classroom setting it serves as a good review of the previous day's lesson.
