Writing Fix: A Memoir Inspired by Three Truths and a Lie

Curated by ACT

This is a book review and activity for the picture book "Three Truths and a Lie" by Carlalyn Buchner, a story about an older cousin who bullies his younger cousin with outrageous truths and lies. The activity suggests students write three truths and one believable lie about themselves on a 3X5 card. The cards are passed out to other students, who ask questions of other students in the class to find the owner of the card. Students may answer only yes or no. A form is provided to help the students keep track of who answered their questions. Students then select one of their truths and write a personal narrative about it.
