Tug for truth
A routine for exploring tensions of truth

Description:
The Tug For Truth thinking routine requires students to explore the different factors that impact a true or false question of truth. It is similar to the Tug of War thinking routine for fairness dilemmas. Deeper reflection is intended to see beyond what may appear black and white on the surface.

How to Use the Strategy:

Access online instructions here at Harvard Project Zero.

See the routine in practice here at Harvard Project Zero.

Notes:
  • Can be used anytime questions of truth come up and various evidence can be explored (ie: common knowledge, newspapers, Internet, etc.).
