Truths of the Trial

In this true-or-false exercise, students evaluate statements about Socrates’ defense to determine their accuracy based on Plato’s Apology. Learners then rewrite incorrect statements to make them true, promoting active reading and comprehension. The activity reinforces students’ understanding of Socrates’ arguments, beliefs about virtue, and attitude toward death. It develops critical literacy skills and strengthens accuracy in textual interpretation.
