*** Updated*** 09/03/14 Psychology Assignment: 2 Truths and 1 Lie

*** Updated*** 09/03/14 Please read.  Slight change to the video assignment.  The videos still need to be completed for homework and need to be ready for viewing Thursday and Friday. We will be going outside to work with these videos (you already made them and have them with you) in groups tomorrow and Friday.  Please make sure that you have access to them to be viewed via a phone or other personal device.  If you do not have a phone, or it cannot playback videos, email it to yourself so you may use someone else's device to play it back. 


Film yourself, or someone you know, telling 2 truths and 1 lie.  Do not state which are the truths and which is the lie.  We will use some of the things learned from the research to try and figure some of these out in class.  Each little story needs to be several sentences long and should describe an event or situation.  One sentence descriptions like: "I play basketball," do not provide enough information for us to be able to distinguish between the truths and the lies.  Please keep the content of your stories appropriate for school. Have fun!
