My Family

Worksheet Description

The “Two Truths and a Lie about my Family” worksheet is a personal storytelling activity that encourages students to write down two true statements and one false statement about their family. It provides an opportunity for students to share interesting facts about their family life, while also challenging them to concoct a lie that is believable enough to blend in with their truths. The worksheet has three large spaces designated for students to record their statements, allowing for detailed and thoughtful responses.

This worksheet aims to teach students the art of distinguishing between factual information and fiction when presented in a personal context. It helps to enhance their creative writing skills by encouraging them to craft a convincing narrative. The activity also serves as an engaging way for students to learn about their peers’ family backgrounds, fostering empathy and understanding within the classroom community. Moreover, by evaluating the statements of others, students practice critical thinking and the evaluation of information based on context and plausibility.
