Scenario Truth Checker Answer Key

Students analyze three real-world-style scenarios, each containing a mixture of factual statements and fictional claims. They must separate fact from fiction and justify their choices using evidence and logic. Each scenario presents everyday contexts such as school conversations, local news reports, and social media posts, helping students practice evaluating information they encounter frequently. This activity supports students in identifying exaggerations, inaccuracies, or fabricated details embedded within otherwise realistic text.
