Today I found myself reading a lot of slices looking for inspiration. Lauren Lynfield’s “Three Truths and a Lie” caught my attention. This is an ice-breaker game that can tell you things that a person wouldn’t bring up in casual conversation. Here are my Three Truths and a Lie. Can you guess which is the lie?
1. I run ultra marathons which are 50 milers.
2. I took Russian in college because I wanted to work for the NSA.
3. I cooked for workers in the orchards of a large Kibbutz in Israel.
4. I am color blind and so are my two sons.
This is a writing exercise that I can imagine doing with students. I now have now generated three new personal narrative ideas.

Oh gosh, I can’t even begin to guess which one is the lie. Let’s go with #2. Am I right or totally off base? (It sounds like it could be true!)
BTW: I used to do this with my students on the first day of school. I told them it was the only time they’d be permitted to lie in my classroom all year.

Hi Stacey, actually number one is the lie. I am not an ultra marathoner. Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog.

Me neither. I can’t even run three paces without pain!
