    Pamela Meyer TED - How to

    spot a liar
    Note: These classes were designed for a two hour post proficiency
    conversation class. I normally set the video as homework for my students
    the week before.

    Warmer 2 truths and a lie


    The old classic activity. Write three sentences about yourself on the board;
    two true and one false, I wrote:
    1. I met Leo Messi and Mascherano on the beach.
    2. I collect comic books.
    3. I used to be a builder before I was a teacher.
    Give students two minutes to ask you questions to try and catch you in a lie.
    Then they must say which one they think is true and explain why, did they
    pick up on any vocal or body language signals. Then reveal which one is a
    lie (number 2 for me). Award one point to each student that guessed
    correctly and one point to yourself for each student you duped.
    Now give students five minutes to do the same; write three sentences about
    themselves, two true, one false and continue the game. The winner is the
    person with the most points, who earns the title master liespotter.

    Who was the best liar?
