This lesson plan contains:
- a news story (scientific research) with some useful new vocabulary - flattery and boasting work well if you ask the students to  'flatter' each other or 'boast' about themselves
- Idioms related to lying and telling the truth
- a 'what would you do' exercise on lying - some really surprising results!
- a 'tell a tall tale' exercise - this can be successful depending on your students' creativity
- additional discussion questions.
