The Art of Lying

The Art of Lying

a Talking Points lesson for English reading, speaking, vocabulary and writing

This is part of the Talking Points 3 lesson series for Intermediate to Advanced students.

Everyone lies.

Lying is an integral part of life. We lie every day. Some lies are big, some are insignificant and small.

In this lesson plan, you can explore the idea of lying and the effects it has on others. It starts with a light-hearted story about lying but then goes into more detail in different exercises designed to make your students speak out in class.

Your students will find this topic highly engaging and all the exercises will be great fun for them. It should definitely create much debate and talking time in your English or ESL class.

The lesson comes complete with:

• Reading Exercise
• Reading Comprehension Questions
• Essential Vocabulary
• Discussion Questions
• Two Truths and a Lie. A fun game about lying.
• Debate: What is lying and when is it allowed?
• Role Play
• Writing Exercise

Start the class with the three opening questions and then do the reading.

Follow that with the reading comprehension questions.

Then you can go through all the vocabulary – or set it as homework for the students to do later.

Then there is a big list of questions that are designed to get your students talking.

After that, you can do all the other exercises in whatever order you wish.

It comes in easy to use PDF format, ideal for printing for your needs. Use it again and again for your English/ESL classes.
