Two Truths and a Lie

This worksheet supports students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 as they practice analytical reading, logical reasoning, and clear explanation by evaluating sets of statements about artificial intelligence. Students examine three related claims at a time, identify the single myth, and explain why it is incorrect, strengthening evidence-based reasoning and understanding of realistic AI capabilities and limitations.

Learning Goals

• Analytical Reasoning (Grades 5-7) – Compare related statements and determine which one is inaccurate.
• Critical Evaluation – Identify subtle misconceptions rather than obvious errors.
• Understanding AI Limitations – Distinguish realistic AI functions from exaggerated or unrealistic claims.
• Explanation & Justification – Write clear, logical explanations that support conclusions.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Design – Developed by educators to align with ELA reasoning and explanation standards.
• Engaging Format – Game-like structure keeps students motivated while thinking deeply.
• Flexible Use – Ideal for independent practice, small groups, discussion, or formative assessment.
• Supports Deeper Thinking – Encourages careful reading and comparison, not guessing.
• Accessible Structure – Clear prompts support diverse learners and varying skill levels.

This printable worksheet helps students sharpen critical thinking, analytical reading, and written justification skills while exploring how myths about artificial intelligence can be misleading. By identifying the false statement and explaining why it is incorrect, learners strengthen reasoning, comprehension, and clarity in written responses. Suitable for both classroom instruction and homeschool learning, this activity promotes thoughtful evaluation of information and responsible understanding of modern technology.
