- Then we played a game called Two Truths and a Lie where students had to write two truths and one lie (in a mixed order) on an index card, read those things out loud to their classmates, and see if they could fool the class. It was a great way for students to begin feeling comfortable with talking in front of large groups of peers. 

Note:
Students are expected to have their Planner out and ready at the beginning of each class period.
