Truth or True

Does it stay in the story, or travel into life? Sort each statement and prove it with the passage.
Purpose

Students tell the difference between a statement about this particular passage and a bigger idea about life that the passage supports.

How it works

Choose a level. Read the passage. Sort each statement card. Every answer comes with a reason from the passage. Most rounds add statements that sound wise but are not supported. Every play draws a new passage, and the statements come in a new order.

Remember

A theme travels beyond the story, but it never leaves its evidence behind.

TEKS for this game

TRUE tells about this story. TRUTH reaches beyond this story, but the story must support it.
